Isiah Thomas was subjected to ridicule by the opposing Monmouth crowd as his Florida International team went down 99-70.
The crowd periodically chanted "sexual harassment," "take Lunesta," "Anucha Sanders," and "Magic hates you," referring to various alleged chapters in Thomas' recent past.
"I'm used to being in a hostile work environment as athlete and former Bad Boy, every place we went to was this kind of environment," said Thomas. "It's all in good spirit and good fun, that's what being a fan is all about. ... I thought the students were well in line and in bounds with the chants that they were saying."
Thomas never lost his self-control. After the final buzzer, a fan confronted Thomas as he came off the court and shouted "---- you" more than a dozen times.
"I don't even think he's a student here; he's not in college," Thomas said. "He got out of line and security put him in line."
