No, I’m sure he ejected them because they were respectfully disagreeing.

Did you know that same referee moments before ejecting Tom and Chris, tried to eject a college student for saying "You suck?" And that referee was told he couldn't do it because it wasn't a strong enough reason.

So I ask again, can a referee throw out anyone for being a fan when the fan did not threaten or create a hostile situation?

That's probably why I don't go to very many sports events or movies anymore. I went to games because it was fun and I enjoyed it. I rooted for the home team, but I respected our opponents. If a ref made a bad call, I made my displeasure known. But that's not the way it is anymore. Nowadays, there always seem to be more than a handful of professional jerks at the game.
Corchiani himself admitted, "We're not denying we were all over him, but I've been doing that every game I've been at since I retired," said Corchiani, who said he attends just about every N.C. State game. "That's homecourt advantage. But again, we never used profanity or crossed the line. We were just on him about some of the calls he made."
These two morons had their kids with them. And do you and your family want to sit in font of some idiot who screams, "You suck"every ten minutes? Apparently crap like this is acceptable today, and that's very sad because they ruin it for all those people who bring their wives and kids to a game to enjoy themselves. These two guys are jerks and I'm glad the ref threw them out.
