2 years ago, I mentioned that the rule was "no stomping on the bleachers" during a Boys Varsity Game and one of the assistant coaches stated "let them stomp all they want, this ain't golf"

Unfortunately what can be done if it's a rule that the league has asked to be enforced?

Not worry about it...

As an official? Nothing.

As a whatever-your-role-is? Well, you'll have to ask at a different forum.

You would have to ask your AD. It's up to him.

What you don't seem to be getting if that this is NOT a rule in the game of basketball. Therefore, officials don't care how much fans stomp. It has nothing to do with officiating.

Now if we could just have this little girl classified as an artificial noisemaker, then we could throw the book at her.
