You can't control crowds. If someone insults you in any way, consider the source. I am white. I understand why anyone would be offended if they were called that. People that you care about will not call you that in that way. Is it that important if the person is a scumbag stranger?
Blacks are not the only ones that can be called names. Don't make it a racial thing.
I am a deplorable, racist and Nazi. lol

Sounds like Illinois St DID control the crowd...

The fans were removed - correct?
 
Illinois St did remove the fans.

From what I’m reading, I would withhold judgment. The player’s claim isn’t known to have been corroborated at this point. The coach and ref took him at his word.

I’m sure they’re doing a thorough investigation. That school is in an impossible spot if the claim can’t be corroborated.

Well - it'd be very interesting to have audio of the fans and what Jamarii Thomas (the insulted player) said to them -- if Thomas is being truthful, he seemed very calm as it was occuring - certainly a vastly different reaction than the Norfolk St HC...
 
- you can see 2 or 3 Illinois State fans saying stuff to the player.
- you can see the same player immediately have an ear to ear conversation with the ref
- it appears another Norfolk player went to their bench and told their coach about it (the player in question was the free throw line)
-coach goes way out onto the court (which if the context is true I don't blame hime)
-pedon sees this and absolutely loses his mind for some reason
- Illinois State fan is removed

My conclusion
- not sure what Illinois State could do differently to handle the situation. They removed the guy immediately and are now investigating.
- don't blame the NFSU coach for his reaction
- I don't know what Pedon knew/heard but it is a horrible look on his part.

Watched the video several times, I'd venture that Pedon only knew that the NSU coach was in the middle of the court. Pedon didn't get REALLY agitated until the NSU coach told him to F**k Off...
