My question is why this is a "Flagrant foul?"
Why is the "F" word so much worse than any other curse word? Maybe it is to some, but it is not to me. You can say a lot of other things that I would consider Flagrant and are not considered curse words.
I do not understand why this word is so objectionable but other words are not treated the same way.

My opinion... because this type of language is not permitted in the classroom especially when it is coming from the educators. Where I officiate, the gym is an extension of the classroom and what is not acceptable there is not acceptable in the gym. You would not allow a teacher to tell a student in front of the class (or in private for that matter) that he "competed f'd up on his exam". Completely unacceptable.
And I don't think it is just that word. I think Bob, Tony JR, et al would have the same response had the coach told the officials that they "were all b!tches" or that they were "complete a$$holes". They are words, but agree or not some are not acceptable in our culture especially in this environment! As a parent, I would come unglued, If my kid's coach set this kind of example.
