N word

I think that there is no place in the game for either of these racial slurs. However, I don't think this issue is as black and white as our shirts. This is one of those grey areas that some of officials have. I've played basketball in high school and some small college ball. In that time I developed some relationships with my black teammates that would allow me to address them using some terms that a lot of us would probably get killed using on the street and vice versus. I think this is another common sense issue in determinng how the slur was directed. I would not whack a kid for this unless I thought it was a clear case of taunting but I would have a talk to make sure it doesn't happen again. Another part of good game management!
