Ruling on player fan interaction.

Surely, someone who began officiating before the invention of the electric dryer should know that it's clotheslined.

I am sorry. I was typing fast to get the post done beause I had something else going at the same time. I will correct the spelling.

when I see that word I think of the scene in Naked Gun when they clothesline a couple on the beach.

armed guards, heavy security. They must have been prepared for something to happen. That was pretty crazy. If that happened in HS, I think I'd eject the player who nailed the fan(even if it was deserved) The county probably would suspend him at least a few games. I'd eject 9 as well for making the situation worse.
I see it as a safety issue and within the jurisdiction of the game. I don't think you can leave no 9 in the game. But...do you give a T for this? Do you have the other team shoot fts? That doesn't seem fair. I'd want to be able to eject both players but not have the other team shoot the Tech fts.

Not surprising you would try to do what you think is fair, rather than what the rules allow/tell you to do.
