So if the little kid were blowing a whistle would you also ignore the rule?
Are there other rules which you don't enforce on the court?

If I heard him blowing the whistle, yes, I would address it because it would probably interfere with the game. Two or three people with thundersticks would probably not be noticed by 99 percent of officials in my area. Or if it were noticed nothing would be done.

Now whether you decide to do anything about it or not, it could definitely be handled better than in the video.

Did you happen to turn up the volume when watching the video? Kind of hard not to notice. Again, what other rules are set aside in your game?

Hopefully there's someone other than the coaches around that can go up and talk to these people or if necessary, make a general announcement.

Whichever ones are traditionally set aside or ignored, of course.

It's hard not to notice because the camera is looking right at them. I doubt I'd pay it two minds while on the court.

Something about picking the fly poop out of the pepper.

Yep. The video makes it readily apparent what we're looking for. Maybe I would notice it in this game because there are about two dozen people in they gym. If there was a packed gym with three people doing it, there is no way I would even notice it or do anything about it if I did notice it.

Yes. Next question.
