A friend was asking about idiot fans and how I put up with them. I said it's funny but 1500 fans booing and yelling stuff doesn't bother me. I find it more difficult to ignore the one guy in a quiet gym. Having said that, I can't think of anything to do or say that is more effective than ignoring him/her/them. I take pride in what I do and I take pride in the fact that I can stand close to someone who is yelling at me and pretend that I don't hear him.
Rarely have I dealt with fans. I did tell a parent to cut it out when he was heckling the catcher (baseball example) of the opposing team. This was 12-13 year olds. The idea of a 40 year man heckling a 13 year player did not sit well with me. He never said boo again. I also addressed a fan who heckling us after he swore. I said "keep it clean". He preceded to heckle me profusely after that. But then he said "I didn't swear that time". All I could do was laugh.
