A "T" yes, but "Disqualification"? Would you be "mad" if a ref disqualified a player for that game, and the subsequent game (since it is a disqualification), for saying the "F" word after he missed a lay-up?
I would be more than mad. I would take it straight to the league if we got a DQ off one profanity, whether after a missed layup or a foul call. 10-3-8 is not a flagrant, and one explosion is not enough to warrant a DQ. The rule says T, that's precisely what it should be. I have to take strong issue with Mark D's postion on this one. It seems to be creating a new rule where a clear rule alrready exists.

My initial comment above dealt only with a coach being mad about getting a T for this. If this situation doesn't fit the rule, what does?!!
