The Metro Basketball Association, a minor basketball organization in Nova Scotia, is banning spectators from weekend games in an effort to educate coaches and parents about their behaviour toward officials.
Chris Lerette, the league manager, said there has been an increase in “concerning behaviour” each week since the beginning of the season.
“These incidents seem to have become too common in our gyms each weekend, and we need to curb this behaviour immediately,” Lerette said in a letter distributed to all teams.
Banning all fans from the games will be strictly enforced as officials have been asked not to start games if anyone else is
