I know someone who officiated a D3 JV game in which the coach was T'd up for cursing at and putting his hands on his own player.

I have asked two D1 refs (both with ties to the Midwest) about this scenario or something similar to it. The first one I asked is a 2nd year mid-major D1 official and he asked his supervisor about it and his response was pretty much "Could you imagine giving Bobby Knight a technical for cursing out his own player?". Second guy I asked is a veteran Big Ten official and he literally rolled his eyes and laughed at my question, saying that he would note it in his game report, but that's about it.

I, working strictly at the HS and JuCo levels, would probably ask the coach to calm down. If very audible cursing were involved I think I would be obligated to 'T' for unsporting behavior.
