Misconduct from a spectator...any recourse?

[rainmaker]

I tossed a fan early in my career. The astonishing part was that it worked! It was a freshman girls game with about nine total fans in attendance, including these two students who began making fun of the visiting team. They were calling them names, such as "cow" and "slob" and making comments on their athletic abilities, which were at best limited. It was really getting to the players, I could tell, although the visiting coach wasn't saying anything (I didn't think much of her). I looked around for the AD, but couldn't find him anywhere and finally I'd had enough. I just looked up at these kids with my best Mother-Bear-Protecting-the-Cubs snarl and yelled, "Either be quiet or get out!!" And they left! Never been so surprised in my life. When the AD finally made an appearance, I apprised him of the situation, so that we wouldn't have any repeat performances in the second half, or in the JV game.
