Yes they were in my way during the 7th and 8th grade game.

I kept asking them to move and give me some room to work but once we went to the other end and back they forgot.

I only stepped on 1 foot and bumped about 5 or so.

BTW...I'm with the "do over" in a MS game also. (Another reason to stay OOB, as L, on the throw-in.)

Safety issue, get the cheerleaders moved if they won't stay out of your way. I'm a freight train compared to cheerleaders, and I remind them that if there's a collision, I'm not going to be the one to get hurt.

How did the cheer coach take it?

I've done it and will do it again. If they're in my way, they move. They're just 1 step above the other spectators. They're not necessary to the game and shouldn't be in a position to potentially interfere with or cause injury those that are. The cheer coach will not like it, but they don't have a say.

As Snaq said, you're protecting them as much as yourself. Most of us are 2x the size of some of them. If they are close to the endline but not really "too close", I make a few passes really close early in the game to get their attention and they usually stay out of the way after nearly getting run over (they were not really about to be run over...they don't know I was just firing a warning shot).

Agree. It's a safety issue. Four or five years ago I took one out while going full speed down the sideline while looking back over my shoulder covering a fast break....she picked the wrong time to lean into the court to get a better look....we hit shoulder to shoulder and she went flying. Ever since I have absolutely no qualms about having them moved if they're getting in the way.

Have game management get the cheerleader "coach" to move them out of the way.
