Having a recent opportunity to observe a high school basketball game (on a rare night off) I found myself amazed at the very aggressive attitude and behavior of  adults in the stands, directed toward players AND officials. 

So you're saying ... "where have you been the last 20 years?"  Well, I guess at some point you finally realize that enough is enough.  While state associations, local conferences, and rule governing bodies have implemented policies and procedures to deal with unruly fans, it seems as though (in general and overall) a crowd can be very difficult to keep in control as compared to the players on the court, regardless of what guidelines you put in place.

In this week's "60 Seconds on Officiating" we will look at some situations and the best practices designed to keep an over zealous fan base from crossing over the line of proper decorum. 

It may be time for us ALL to step up our enforcement on abusive fans.
