The same is true here, but those coaches and ADs who are supportive would never have asked the question that was posed to Mark.

In no case would Mark's history be of any relevance. Chances are the real answer is "no," but it's more complicated. How we respond to swearing is always a judgment call, and it's not available for AD criticism or debate; which is clearly what the AD wanted here.
