Did you see the game where the referee actually walked into the stands and talked to members of the band about playing while the opponent has the ball? |

Very unusual situation. I understand the need to get the band to comply with the rules, but it seems there could be a better way that doesn't transition into a wild viral clip. It's worth telling the game operations staff to get the information to them, and there can be a more meaningful follow-up through them. Then it becomes a security matter if they are noncompliant, rather than a possible unsportsmanlike conduct foul.

I have to wonder if Greg Burks admonished him for that. I think Steve is a good referee, but I’m surprised he took that risk. Even if he somehow thought TV wouldn’t show it because they were in a media timeout, he could have been accosted by fans on his way to and from the band’s location. It seems like a security issue to me.

Get game administration to address it, or get the director's attention and have him or her meet you at the railing. |
