There are two points here. One is that each official has their own level of pain or vocabulary of "hot button" words. Each official sets that line at a different level.
Therefore, it is very possible a coach
could be ejected by one official for something at which the next ninety-nine wouldn't even blink an eye.
The second is that it seems this coach has a strange sense of what is fair. What happens to the officials is that they no longer get to work the big, important games, and very likely lose an opportunity for post-season. That is if they are indeed weak or vindictive. That means the official is, in effect, losing possible income and recognition. I think most officials would prefer a game-fee fine as opposed to the long term affect of a bad evaluation.
