Apples and oranges. When you start seeing public reprimands for players who miss key shots, run the wrong play, fail to execute the offense, turn over the ball based on the misapplication of a rule, blow defensive assignments, etc., then I'll feel the officials are on equal ground for missing judgement calls and kicking rules.
But fighting is a whole different matter. Perhaps the equivalent would be for an official to coldcock a mouthy coach. For that, I'd expect a lot more than a public reprimand. Hmmm, still not really the same, is it?
