The same if any of the commonly known offensive epitaths were verbalized within my earshot: white trash, cracker, wetback, spic, gook, etc. Use of any of those terms could be contrued as Flagrant if uttered by a coach and as taunting if coming from a player. (i hold coach to a higher standard)

The one 'tech' I wish I had given in my career was a game in my 2nd year where players (all Black) from one team kept referring to a darked-skinned Black player from the other team as a monkey. It was gutless of me not to address the issue and I'm still dissappointed with myself to this day.
