The use of certain socially unaccetable language being used by a coach when addressing his players on the court. I do not have a problem with the coach receiving a flagrant technical foul in this situation. How is this different than the situation that I described.
1) The coach's language took place during play and was directed toward his players who were on the court not bench personnel. The coach's language also affects all of the players (both his and his opponents around him). AND, more importantly, his language is a classic example of NFHS R10-S4-A1c.
2) The assistant coach's actions in my situation took place on the bench involving other bench personnel.

I honestly can't see any difference between #1 and #2 above.Both are flagrant acts!R10-S4-A1c doesn't list any restricting factors in it's application.Why should one be treated different than the other?
