Coach talking trash!!

Just to throw in my two pennies:

Easy T. I, too, would think about making it flagrant. Kind of doubt I would go that far, but I would certainly consider it. I suppose it depends on the nature of the game up to that point, to some extent.

Great question - should coaches be held to a higher standard than players? Most certainly so, in my opinion - and it has nothing to do with rules. It has to do with his/her level of responsibility as a leader and educator - and yes, also as an adult who is supervising children.

Example, let's say a coach shoves an opposing player. For a player, that's a T (maybe flagrant). For a coach, that would be an automatic flagrant - we can't have adults taunting and shoving children around on the high school basketball court.

I agree.

I called a regular T on this once. It's one of only two times where I wish I could go back and call it flagrant.
