Official in stands yelling

And you probably will not be the last. Someone has to be first.

Thanks for the input guys. We have an association meeting Wednesday and I plan on bringing it up with the secretary. If this guy isn't in attendance I may bring it up for group discussion.

That would be good even if he was there. He has embarrassed you.....

1. Absolutely bring it up at the meeting; you could perhaps ask whether it's acceptable in your association to behave like this clown. You might want to be diplomatic.
2. I'd dump him even faster than a known varsity coach pulling the same sh1t during a JV game.

Exactly!

I absolutely would be diplomatic. I might even ignore him and ask it in a round-about way.

Such as:

"Say, I'm curious what opinions in this room are of other officials sitting in the stands and be overly vocal."

I don't know that I'd put him directly on the spot. I'll talk to the secretary and let him handle it. Or, I may personally walk up to the guy and just simply say that next time he's at a game I'm doing I'll eject him if he's riding me from the stands.
