I think it is personally dumb to go into a hostile situation for the soul purpose to give a flagrant T to the table, when we there are situations where the officials might be threatened by the crowd, coaches or even players. I do not know about you, but I would rather avoid a possible fight and report the incident to the state where action will and can be taken by others.

Our commissioner told us that any ejection is only valid if it's entered into the official scorebook. If it is not, the issue is open to appeal. This is probably a state thing. So before you go telling everyone how dumb it is to not do it your way, take a step back and realize that every area doesn't necessarily do things your way.

I feel sorry for the area you live in then. I bet if an official gets attacked by going back into an already hostile situation to put something in the book at that time, then that policy might change. That is why our state gives us a Special Report form to do that. We can file these reports for any violation of sportsmanship or incident that happens outside of the confines of the game. To me a coach doing that is outside of the confines of the game. I have had coaches that came into the locker room to confront coaches and my report got that coach suspended for multiple games. All reports have to be responded to and they are not limited to ejections. I would probably file a report if no profanity was used. It is not about the word it is what is said and how it is said.
