Yes. Normally after the T, the coach pulls the kid aside and calms them down. Let the coach have an opportunity to coach and deal with the kid. I think the state and my assignors would not look favorably on tossing someone for words or language.

What if a player called another player "hetero" or "straight"? In an offensive manner, of course?

Glad I don't work in your state.

That should be a flagrant. The threat is one thing, but the racial remark is unacceptable.

Ha ha this is great. If I threaten to chop your legs out from under you that is one thing, but if I offend your sensitivities you're outta here!

what if the kid told you that you ****ing suck? would your superiors be upset at you for tossing that kid based on "words or language" ?

I'm not saying I wouldn't eject for the threat- I probably would. I am saying the racial slur is as close to "automatic" as I have.

Guess if we ever work together we will have to pre-game that.

In my younger, more foolish days I played in a CHURCH rec league. On one occasion an opponent threatened "to take me out" if I tried to box him out again. Because he looked angry I assumed he wasn't flirting with me. I just laughed and asked if he had gone to church that morning.

I wouldn't classify it under "offended sensibilities" or "hurt feelings," but rather "fighting words."

And yes, I'm referring to the "fighting words doctrine" of Constitutional law. Though I wouldn't mention that when I T'd up the offender.
