It's supported by rule, but what's to stop me from putting on a home team sweatshirt when I'm a fan of the visiting team and acting like a jacka$$.

It's like dropping a nuclear bomb when a quick word to the AD, "Bill, get that chucklehead out of here," would suffice. And the fallout would be a lot less, too.

Right. Although the rule specifies "if its supporters act in such a way as to interfere with the proper conduct of the game." Some will have a higher bar for this standard than others, obviously.

I don't want to stir the pot but not only have I seen D1 games where the fans literraly have to almost hold the game up for some time before a T is given to the home team, and even high level baksetball games.

I think calling this T, for this reason, especially if you are being evaluated or looked at will spell doom for you. I mean the rules support a lot of crazy things if you want to do them, doesnt mean you have to.

Take for example a D1 game few years back where the HC had a heart attack during the game and was assessed a T for being on the court...NCAA said that the officials should have recindid the T. by rules though they were right and supported, but sometimes you need something called COMMON SENSE.

I'm pretty sure Nevada would rescind his T on the fan if it turned the fan was on the court due to a heart attack.

But not if the fan was on the court to attend to his/her child who was having a heart attack.

Good point, they don't need to be there. They'll just get in the way.

On the contrary, the floor is reserved exclusively for the players and the officials. The fan has NO BUSINESS having a heart attack on the floor. He should have his heart attack in the stands, where the ticket he purchased has granted him access to have his heart attack.
