The answer that many of you will get is, embarrassed or your son/daughter not wanting you to come. I had a player on a SHAC team whose dad got thrown out of a game I was involved in years ago for inappropriate language.

I found that to be a very embarrassing and experience that that young man would take with him forever. You could tell it really bothered him.

The young man came back up to me toward the end of the game, during free throws being shot and shook my hand and said, "I'm sorry that my dad acts that way". Again, some of you who regularly go to games and act like this should ask yourself, "how does this make my son/daughter look and or feel? You might just get an answer that you don't really want to hear.

I have kids that participate in sports and I sometimes like to talk to officials during the game. There are a few officials that can shake off a comment and they may actually agree with you that they missed the call, if not actually agreeing they a least make you believe they are. There are officials that actually enjoy making bad calls, they try to get you worked up so they can toss you. I guess the only way to stop it would be to send these officials through a real class and really start to examine their character before giving them any authority. I’m sick of hearing that officials don’t get paid to be heckled by fans. They knew what they signed up for.

I'm in the stands at the Athens game hearing from friends that 2, then more, then 8 fans getting ejected for VC??? Based on scores I was receiving, sounds like a really bad night offensively for VC, but that many fans/parents getting tossed? That's a full blown nuclear meltdown in McArthur! Anyone confirm or deny these events?

7 people were ejected during the game. 2 in the first half, 4 got the boot about halfway through he 4th and then the final ejection was with less than a minute left in the game. Only one was a parent of a player. I’m not sure what was said to warrant the ejections from the referee, but each of those that were ejected left peacefully from my vantage point. VC/Alex is about as heated a rivalry as you can get in boys basketball. Some fans just lost their cool. I would like to point out that I was not one of the ejected. My wife was listening on the radio and immediately called me to make sure I wasn’t acting like a bonehead.

I know each and every one of them personally. They were all from VC.

We couldn’t stop terry. If Alexander went inside more, this could’ve been even worse.
