Arizona cheerleader ejected for heckling Arizona State players

A University of Arizona cheerleader was thrown out during the second half of Thursday night's game against Arizona State for heckling opposing players.

Play was stopped momentarily while Sun Devils freshman guard Remy Martin was at the free-throw line after the male cheerleader drew the attention of official Randy McCaul.

According to Rule 10, Article 8 of the official referee handbook, cheerleaders are not permitted to use a "musical instrument, amplified music, or artificial noisemakers such as a megaphone while the game is in progress."

"He was yelling, using the (megaphone) to call out people by name, which is not acceptable. And he was asked to please stop, and he chose not to," McCaul said, according to Ryan Winn and Katherine Fitzgerald of the Arizona Republic.
