We just disagree, and neither one of us is gonna change the other's mind.

I know Jim can speak for himself. When did Jim say this comment was to be tolerated? I must have missed those words he put on this site. I think all Jim is saying (and I am saying as well) that the comment in itself is an opinion. Now even if the coach was 1000% correct that is his opinion. Now if someone has the opinion we are cheating, you cannot just ignore it and toss it away. Calling someone a bigot does not make you a racist, but in the context of the game that kind of personal comment would not be ignored. I do not know if that comment would be considered a flagrant foul, but it probably would be a T at the very least in my opinion. The coach just accused the officials of having bias. In my opinion this is not much different than if the coach pointing out the foul total and saying you live in the same town of his opponent. I agree calling someone a bigot might have a racially charged response, but to call it racist in my opinion is ridiculous. Remember that is my opinion and no one is going to change that. I have been doing this for some time. I can form my own opinion on this and many other topics.
Peace
