I think Jeff dealt with the issue appropriately. When the person (offender) is willing to stop when the rule is pointed out, why would you want to escalate and kick them out. You know where I work we have a policy for everything - but we quickly learn they are only guidelines. Remember most of the people you are talking about KICKING out are the parents, who without them the kids would not be there, and coaches - who are doing this for nothing in most cases. A lot of these coaches do not even have kids there or stay hours after there kid is done to coach someone else's kid. People should just relax, deal with the issues that come up at the lowest level possible. Some sound like the spectators are inmates, well I work with inmates and we are encouraged to handle minor infractions informally if possible, like Jeff did. Or maybe we could just take Nix's approach of kicking people out one step further and just shoot a few offenders. Shoot the first person with a coke in the gym and there would probably not be anymore offenders. And, I cannot believe someone suggested we start 'shaking people down' as they go in the gyms. You are in there all day, and if you leave your seat you lose it. Of course there is going to be food in the gyms. It would be nice if people would clean up there mess. We have enough shaking down at state.
I am just joking on shooting, I just think we should relax on this and let Jeff know he was right in how he handled it.
