"Parental Control"

Hey all, I'm covering some of the Hardwood Tournament this weekend.  Curious as to what you guys think about the parental control, or lack thereof, at some of these tournaments.

I realize it's one thing to get worked up about their children playing ball.  BUT, it's a whole different thing, IMO, when people "pack together" and yell so loud that even the players can't hear each other.

I also understand that when a ref gives a bad call, sure, you want to fight it.  But unfortunately, remember that the ref IS the boss du jour, and if he/she decides they want to remove you from the game, they can and will...and I've seen it happen!

Just curious what you folks think about the way the fans behave at these games...are you a screamer or a golf clapper?  ;)  What do you think of either or?
