Fan "showing up" the official

IOW if told by an official to eject a fan, it has to be done. Otherwise the AD, Principal, or Vice Principal have the final say.

So far I only know of one instance where this happened. V fan was overly-obnoxious concerning calls & officiating, officials stated either remove the fan or game will be forfeited for failure to control team/spectators.

This was by official's command so it was done with no questions asked.

So far I have only seen this 1 instance where an official requested that a fan be removed.

The fan was distracting attention away from the game due to comments that lead to play being halted.

Other than that, generally a PA announcement or stern warning from game management does the trick.

Nope, the referee has total jurisdiction over the actual running of the game from the time he appears on the court for warmups up until the time he disappears from view after the game. That includes anything to do with the actual conduct of the game including the involvement of fans, band, cheerleaders, teams, media, etc. It also very specifically includes all of the table crew. if we have any problem outside the lines, it's up to your cabal to fix those problems when asked.

Your AD, Principal and vice principal can sell tickets and popcorn though.

Sooooooo.....be very, very nice to Rookie Dude the next time he shows up. From your standpoint, he is God.

I'm always nice to RookieDude, he can verify that fact.

I was meaning in circumstances where the officiating crew are involved because of the fan becoming too big of a disturbance where they take attention away from the game.

Generally though, if game management is doing things properly, it should not get to the point of attention being focused into the stands instead of on the court.

I wasn't the one that made up the original listing however.

As I stated in my follow up posting, the 4 of us are on equal footing as to the chain of command depending on where we are located.

Chseagle, you're married. You just think you're on equal footing as to the chain of command. Mrs. Chseagle knows better.

...you know...there seems to be some VERY funny and witty people on this forum.

I pledge, if I win a big MEGA lottery...I will fly a select amount of posters to a big party in Connell, WA. (chseagles hometown)

chseagle...you will sit at the head of the table...with your security staff of course.

(Sidenote: The WA winner of the latest big lottery is staying at my Wife's Ex-Mother-in-law's to keep away from the media etc. Pretty cool hey?)

The real funny thing is that Connell is not my hometown. I used to live there but not anymore.
