I tend to agree with the old gray mule here. Though, here in Pennsylvania, we read a sportsmanship message at the pre-game. For the most part, the chants & cheers & all are pretty amusing. I do nothing to stop them unless there is something that is obviously meant to demean or offend an opponent.
Coaches do not have the final say as to who works their games here, but they have way too much input as to who is selected for district playoffs. If I had been blackballed for something like what Mark had, I'd fire off a game report to the school's AD, the district staff, and the state folks - taking advantage of the web's incredibly easy access to various groups that we couldn't get near a few years ago.
