Disconcerting acts or words

[ljudge]

What if the entire sideline tries to disrupt the offense? We had a varsity game last night (ppd due to rain from Friday) where all the fans sat on one side of the field in a huge stadium where there are no bleachers on the visiting side.

When the home team was calling the cadence the defensive players didn't say anything and weren't interfering with the signals. But, the entire visiting sideline of players (technically substitues) were all yelling as if to give "crowd noise" in hopes of disrupting the offense. I'm not talking about the typical "defense, defense,..." that we always hear but it was kind of like yelling like fans do at NFL games.

I got nothing and we let it go the whole night. We discussed this and said "they are non-players just like fans are." The only thing I said if we hear "hut, hut, hut" or something like that to attempt to cause a false start then we need to consider a USC (which they didn't do).

It just kind of caught me off guard because I have never seen a team on the sideline do this.
