I completely agree. This sounds like a state association issue. I think this could also be determined to be an unsportsmanlike act by the defensive team.

The other thing I would have to ask is how many players does the team have. To have that much noise making a difference while the team is on defensive makes me think they have a huge team. Most of my games this season I have been lucky to fill 4 lines with subs.
