Who said this? Just so you know, there is a rule which gives us (the officials) authority to call a technical on the team if their spectators get out of hand. It's to be used sparingly, and carefully, but it's there.

I did leave it open-ended with loopholes possible that a coach could get T'd due to actions/comments from spectators.
