I will ask you the same question I asked the other poster. What would you consider to be the definition of flagrant? How far would this particular player have to go to get you to call a flagrant?

Okay, let me say this. On our board, tossing a player for that would be very questionable and the coach would have gone to others to get it overturned. You can never reproduce the emotion or the intensity of how it was said. One official may have more tolerance for such words and handle it a whole different way. Myself personally, whether its the f-bomb or any curse word, you get an automatic "t", whether its directed to me or not. Now, IF it is directed to me and you get in my face or bump me during this exchange, then you get tossed. I hope that clears up the air.
