Now the parents of the home team are yelling at the visitors warming up on their side of the 50 because they are too noisy. My first thought was -- "wow--crazy stuff happens in games when I am watching too." But here is the question, what would white hats do....given a loud warm up. Is it disrespectful...yes. Is it something that can be dealt with.

The crew did nothing...nor do I think they really should have. What do you folks think.

My authority begins when I enter the field, usually 40 minutes before kickoff. I always get with game management to see if there is anything unusual scheduled. Around here, most senior nights and most homecoming activities start 30 minutes before game time, so I will go out a little earlier than usual. I make sure the visiting coach is aware of the situation. I have never had a problem, but I would not hesitate to strongly suggest to a coach that he and his needed to exhibit good sportsmanship during the activity, and would not hesitate to deal with (up to ejection) a coach/team that failed to do so. We have been instructed, in no uncertain terms, to deal with sportsmanship problems.
