[Back In The Saddle]

No punches were being thrown. So the comparisons to such completely outrageous behavior are false. This is not a legal issue or a workplace issue. This is a basketball game, and the offense in question is directly covered by the rules. The prescribed penalty for taunting an opponent is a T, not a flagrant T.

Now if you believe the coach was making an actual threat to this kis, that's an entirely different matter than taunting. That's assault and not only should the coach leave, but the police should probably get involved.
