A lesson in thick skin and striving through adversity isn't so bad for a high school basketball player. Or anyone for that matter.
High school kids should not have to deal with personal insults/attacks while playing a game. If it isn't stopped or controlled, it will only get worse. I really don't pay much attention to fans when they are talking to me, but if they start on a player, I'm listening. They will be removed if it gets personal.
