Maybe that's just one more difference between Canada and the US. There'd be war...that much is guaranteed...but from the language that has been coming from the league I have my doubts that the coach would have much defence in the matter.
We're throwing flags for saying 'crap' too loud...
Facts:
a) we don't supply officials to all games that get 'scheduled'. The teams might think they've got a game but when we've only got, say, 40 officials and 12 games on the same day it simply isn't going to happen. The league simply can't afford to have officials getting assaulted.
b) we've been instructed clearly to show zero tolerance for any language on the field
c) we've been instructed to toss coaches for unsportsmanlike conduct if applicable
The league has acknowledged that they need to step up and protect their officials if they want their kids to have a game. Given the severity with which we've been instructed to penalize certain things, I can't imagine how we'd have any other choice but to end the game.
Further to that, if I were injured and forced to miss work or incur extra medical expenses because of that stupidity there would be a lawsuit to contend with as well.
