Where I officiate, the gym is an extension of the classroom and what is not acceptable there is not acceptable in the gym. You would not allow a teacher to tell a student in front of the class (or in private for that matter) that he "competed f'd up on his exam". Completely unacceptable.
And I don't think it is just that word. I think Bob, Tony JR, et al would have the same response had the coach told the officials that they "were all b!tches" or that they were "complete a$$holes". They are words, but agree or not some are not acceptable in our culture especially in this environment! As a parent, I would come unglued, If my kid's coach set this kind of example.

I did not ask you if the words were acceptable. I asked why this word was flagrant.
I also do not care what others think like Bob, Tony or JR think as it relates to my own philosophy. I do not have to accept their point of view on it because it offends them. You call me a "b!tch" I might take that a lot differently than most here depending on who said it and in what context it is used. Any official has the right to take on whatever point of view on this they like, but I just wanted to know why this word was so bad and deserved an automatic ejection and other words for some reason do not meet that criteria.

And I gave you a reason. It is flagrant because it is not acceptable language and it is probably the one of the worst shows of sportsmanship I have heard of in a while, especially in an education environment. If you don't agree, then don't agree. You asked "why" so I gave you my opinion. I also made the point that it is not just the F word but many other curse words. Your question seemed to imply that it was the F word that was drawing so much ire and I was making the point that it is not just the F word that may justify a flagrant T but many other unacceptable words in an education envrironment.
If you don't agree, that is fine, but I was answering your question from my point of view. I'm done with this...
