It doesn't have to be physical to be flagrant; non-physical contact can have the same result. You just have to decide whether you think it's deserving; IMO, this is 50-50, but I probably would have only T'd, not tossed.
You gonna let a kid look at you and call you a Moth#$f$%#$ and just give him a T? There are certain things that an adult should not allow a kid to do or say. Tolerence of this is what has led our sportsmanship in this country to be what it is. Please don't bring in the "but it is the way these kids are raised" or "that is just a figure of speech to them" argument.

Sometimes you have to punish someone in order to get their attention enough in order for them to even consider changing their way of doing things and trying to become better people, which is, btw, one of the purposes of interscholastic athletics.
