For the record:
"You f***ed my boys!"
"You sons a b***hes screwed my boys!"
"D@mn you, you screwed my boys!"
"You screwed my boys! You'll never work here again!"
...would all get the coach tossed by me, whether it was before, during or after the game. Anyone here who wouldn't TCB is not doing his/her job and is just making it more difficult on the rest of us. I don't care who you are, how many years you've been calling, or how good you think you are. You're useless as an official in my book. JMHO
2.8.1 COMMENT:
Unsporting tactics, in general, involve relationships between opponents, between the players and officials, between the spectators and officials, between the players and spectators, between the coaches and spectators, and between coaches and officials. In most situations, it does not apply to the relationship of a player to teammates, nor to the coach and members of the team. However, these standards are not without exception. For example, profanity on the part of a participant, coach or member of the team is considered to be an unsporting act, whether or not the profanity is directed at any individual or is merely a means of letting off steam. (10-1-8; 10-3-7; 10-4-1)
5.6.4 SITUATION A:
Following the final horn in a game which has team A leading 62-60, the coach of Team A sprints after the game officials and shouts profanity at the referee who has just left the playing court outside the end line.
RULING: The referee shall charge the coach with a technical foul and the results of the two free throws will determine whether an extra period will be necessary. The jurisdiction of the officials had not ended as the referee was still within the visual confines of the playing area. (2-2-4)
