Coach uses F*** word

[JRutledge]

Tony,

Do you call 3 seconds to the letter?

Do you give a T for a coach questioning your integrity by talking about the foul count?

I realize what the rulebook says and what you can do. This discussion for me is not about whether this is something that needs to be addressed or even T'd. What I was asking was why this one word is more important than any other word. I do not read in the rulebook or casebook a play that specifically distinguishes one word over another to the point they have to be ejected. Many of these discussions are about situation that are outside of the specifics of the rulebook and why we are having this discussion in the first place. Of course an official has the right to take action before they leave the court. I just do not consider all situations safe or reasonable to handle that way. The NF is not going to take you to the hospital when someone throws something at you or you get jumped because you have to go back into a hostile situation and you now get hurt.

This is all based on opinion and where you are at when you are doing the game. I know if I work in some places I would not go out to the court at all and other places it might not be much of a concern. It for me all depends on the environment you find yourself in.

Peace
