I have to disagree with you. For one we do not know that the official heard the same thing or even knows this was said. We are only responsible for things we see and hear. We are not responsible for things said under someone's breathe, nor should we be. I am going to assume that the coach heard the comments and the officials probably did not hear the comments clearly.

This is not a good analogy if you ask me. We call fouls that we see not what we assume took place (at least I do not). It is also based on judgment of the officials. BTW, what is a "reach" foul?
