and
2. you walk pass the headcoach and he screams "F**k you" (loud enough for the 1st row can hear it).
What would you guys have done?
In my honest opinion and correct me if I"m wrong, I'll ignore the 1st scenaior because no one but me heard the F BOMB. Is it the right thing to T the headcoach, sure it is. Am I going to whack him? NO because I'll NEVER win that battle against. HE/SHE will lie up the a55 and say "I never said that." My word against their word - they win.
Second scenario is different because he/she said it loud enough. Am I going to whack him? HELL FREAKING YES.

As a coach, when my team is down by 20 and being screwed by the refs who are cheating and making my team lose, I really appreciate it when a ref allows me to whisper stuff in his ear as he runs by. I remember one game when the refs made my team miss 14 out of 22 freethrows, and I whispered to him "you punk b*tch ref you f*ckin should have called a f*ckin lane violation cuz we don't f*ckin miss easy a$$ f*ckin freethrows this sh!t is f*ckin b*ll$h!t you p*$$y b*tch moron". I said it politely and only he could hear, so he let it slide.
In a true story, in a summer league game several years back, my team made a layup to pull within 1, 5 seconds or so left on the clock. I have no TO's left. As the ball goes in, I start to loudly request a time out. The new L official in front of me looks over his shoulder inquisitively and does not grant my request. I keep requesting my time out with increasing urgency. With about 1.3 left on the clock, the other official (trail) from across the court on the end line grants my TO, as he had seen me requesting it the whole time. He also puts the clock back at 4 seconds. Other team makes one misses one. We deflect the inbounds pass, pick up the loose ball and one of their defenders fouls my PG as he is heaving a 30 foot runner at the horn. 3 FTs, we win the game. As the refs head to the seats behind the scorers table to prepare for the next game, the trail ref smacks the other ref behind the head and says "give him his time out"... haha...
