BTW I got there first; the school was going to take care of the situation too.

There is a difference between suspending the game if a problem isn't taken care of, and telling a visiting head coach that his team will forfeit if one of their fans doesn't leave.

It wasn't the visiting head coach's problem to deal with...

that sounds like jedi talk to me.


"But you cannot do that remember. Someone said you have no authority. You must allow those things to continue in your games and you are powerless. "

Coaches who routinely drop f-bombs on referees like it is nothing and they have fans removed for saying something to their players...funny stuff.

You missed the sarcasm.

I was at the Alabama-Purdue game on Saturday night and after an OOB call in front of the students sitting on the endline, the official called a nearby police officer, pointed into the stands about 3 rows back, and had a fan removed from his seats. Several seconds later, the policeman came back and took 2 other fans in the front row, who showed their disgust by arguing with the officer and throwing their jackets into the stands in protest!

Any idea(s) why the official was asking for the fan to be removed? I can see the removing of the other fans for the disorderly conduct.

No Idea...I was up in the cheap seats! I assume that he said something, because no one came onto the floor.

The last time I had a fan removed, the rest of the supporters for the same team cheered....they didn't like what the guy was doing either!
