It's really the same situation as the Marcus Smart scenario. I'm sure 2-3 could be invoked and an official could come up with something but in this case I wouldn't simply because it was the fan who started it. If anything I'd be more likely to ring up the home team for not controlling the crowd.
I called a T on the kid last month in a BV game for responding to the crowd but that's because he dropped an F-bomb, meaning he violated NYC public schools' "no tolerance" rule for profanity (plus he yelled said F-bomb to the opposite side of the gym while he was sitting on the bench...with two minutes left in a tie game). If he didn't swear I would've told his coach to tell him to keep his mouth shut.
