That said, any thoughts on the T from tonight? I wish I hadn't said anything to her, but any other thoughts?
Maybe it's just me, but if i was an official, I'd have little to no tolerance for profanity directed towards an official, especially at the lower levels. I even believe there is an NCAA case play that says an official could possibly call a Flagrant T for profanity directed at an official.

Yes, people in volved in a game can get caught up in the moment (myself included), but thats not an excuse for profanity.
