The calling official's judgement. Nothing more and nothing less than that- the same as most any other flagrant foul call. [/B]

True enough. But let's make sure that people have a legitimate basis for making the judgment. Any contact foul depends on the official's judgment, but the official must know that parameters of what constitutes a foul before s/he can judge whether the action fits into those parameters.
I'm just trying to find out if people really think this coach's actions fit into the parameters of "extreme, repeated, vulgar or abusive".
