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.

I did not ask you if the words were acceptable. I asked why this word was flagrant.
I also do not care what others think like Bob, Tony or JR think as it relates to my own philosophy. I do not have to accept their point of view on it because it offends them. You call me a "b!tch" I might take that a lot differently than most here depending on who said it and in what context it is used. Any official has the right to take on whatever point of view on this they like, but I just wanted to know why this word was so bad and deserved an automatic ejection and other words for some reason do not meet that criteria.
