Near Fan Ejection

[Texas Aggie]

Absent loud and intense profanity, which will probably get him or her removed well before I would ever get involved, I ignore fans unless they interrupt the game in one way or another. I like the idiots yelling their head off and making fools out of themselves. After about the second or third sentence, everyone in the gym says to themselves, "OK, you made your point, now STFU." I've had coaches that practically chewed on me the entire game actually apologize for their fans. One visiting coach asked me one night, "hey, you'd never put up with that from me, why are you letting him do it." I just told him its the job of the game admin for them, but for you, I'm responsible. I liked the fact that he knew he had to behave with me there.

In my experience, fans take care of themselves. Players rarely feed off of them. If they are breaking your concentration, you need to work on that.
