Holy.

Crap.

MLK, Jr. was assassinated.

Luther was excommunicated.

Henry was executed.

Parks was arrested.

Nevada had someone disagree with him on an internet forum.

Get real.

Well, it is possible that 3 of the above 4 things have happened to Nevada!

But I'm not going to start any rumors.

What would the reaction be if the student section were chanting the N word?

Same. I'd get game management. I wouldn't whack the team for the behavior of some students in the bleachers.

Agree 100%.

Tell GM that someone's got to go...or the whole section is going.

Agreed. The only difference is it wouldn't take me a few seconds to get the reference.

We all know the emotion that word brings into a room. The havec that would ensue following it would be legendary. If you think you can sneak in two free throws in between the complete a$$ beatings that are happening all over the gym; you are good!

I think the person that said that would have bigger problems than whether we gave them a T or not.

Again, not in the same ballpark as the OP situation in any way.

Peace

It's not even the right comparison, if you want to try to make such a thing.

I think maybe the point is that most of us would still not call a T on the crowd, even if the OP was carried to a greater extreme, which the later example clearly is.

When I played in HS we had a player who got drunk during school, and got caught. He got suspended for 3 days and missed a game. His first game back we are playing on the road at a rival. First time he goes to the line (and all other times thereafter) the crowd chanted "Alcoholic"

Even as his teammate, I thought it was clever and funny. We ended up winning.

I know earlier I said I would ignore any fan chant and allow game managment to hear it and handle it on their own but I guess I didn't consider the extreme. That being said, I cannot imagine a scenario where the game managment isn't all over something like this before I even can turn to look at them. Still wouldn't T tho, just get the offender out, entire section if needed.

Just to throw another angle out there, what if a chant was directed towards you as the official? Would you acknowledge (get game managment, or T if you feel that route is appropriate) in that situation. This discussion reminded me of a state playoff game I played in when I was in HS, opponents student section chanted "A rope, a tree, hang the referee!" for a solid 20-30 secs.

We said that all the time in high school. I'd probably laugh. Actually, the chant is, "A rope. A tree. All we need is a referee."

Haha me as well, that is the only time I ever heard that in my life though. I went to high school outside of Philadelphia and this game was somewhere in Central PA....I remember on the way home us all saying "these country kids are crazy!!!"
