Technical Foul or Ejection...what would you do?
You call a foul on a player and he walks right by you and says to you, "you are a piece of Sh*t!" Do you just give him a technical or do you eject him?

In a football game, I once had a Referee end the game when a player did something similar. |

Easiest call of the day. Flagrant T.
|
It's a flagrant technical is a COACH says it, so it's certainly one if a player says it. Life's too short to put up with that crap.

I'll hit him w/ a T, but I'm not tossin' him for that....

Well, that makes two. Jeffpea and the official on the court.

I'm not one who finds a huge problem with the word sh!t (see the other thread), but when someone calls me a name like that, they're not sticking around. |
Quote:
So what, exactly, does a player have to say in order for you to toss him/her?:confused: |

Now I would just say "Thank you for playing we have lovely departing gifts for you!" |

For one of the best examples of this, see this video: YouTube - Dante Wesley's hit on Clifton Smith LAID OUT!!!! |

Ring him up for the T-If it is #2 and you have to write the report so be it.

would you have acted differently if the player had said "that call was a f_*cking piece of $h!t"? |

You simply can't allow a player to disrespect you in this fashion. It's uncalled for whether on the court, in the classroom and in society in general. Allow a player to get away with it without an ejection and you've just told him he can say anything he wants to. |

at least most of you are consistent...you would toss 'em either way.
i wouldn't say that i've got "thicker skin" than you guys (that would come off as being demeaning to some - and that's not my intention), i just have a different perspective (maybe it's because 75% of my schedule is college). are you giving the flagrant T because he used profanity? are you ejecting him because his comments are directed at you? in your mind, what boundary did the player cross from an unsportsman-like T to a flagrant T? imho, the 3 officials on the floor need to be the calmest people in the building. a T is just another call and not something to get emotional over (of course that is easier said than done). |
Quote:
Thick skin has nothing to do with it. I am not personally offended by something that a player, coach or fan says to me. I don't react emotionally when a player or coach calls me something. I will, however, penalize what I deem to be unsporting, vulgar or disrespectful. Calling an official a "piece of sh%^" crosses two lines at the same time, personal and profane. Your second example is just plain vulgar. I'm not going to tolerate either in my games. Showing the officials that much disrespect should never be considered de rigeur. Out of curiosity, how do you equate issuing a flagrant T with "getting emotional"? |

A college player isn't calling me (or a call) an f-ing piece of sh!t the same as a HS player isn't. Emotion has nothing to do with it. There's a line and that comment obliterates that line. |

"You're a piece of garbage" would be a flagrant technical, too. |

not to split hairs, but does it make any difference if they say, "That's a piece of **** CALL" ?
if they profanely deride the call (rather than the person who made it), that still gets a technical, I imagine. but is it not an ejection? |

Quote:
A coach? Depends, really. If he says it quietly, I probably pass on it. Of course, I don't get hung up on the word sh!t. :D |
Quote:
Player or coach, most likely a standard T. |
Quote:
But you sureasheck are allowed to have your own different perspective. It is certainly "different" in my experience though. And I personally can't agree with it either fwiw. |

Surprised this actually a question. If you don't, then the statement is true, at least as an official.
