Best and worst?

Curious how this might play out under NFHS. We can whack for foul language from coach to his own player, but where's your line for something prolonged / humiliating / if not nearly physical? Granted, you don't go there lightly or worry about coaching tactics, but where's the point when an over-the-top coach (who probably would hear it from his A.D. and/or parents later) is served T for non-profane berating of his own player? I didn't see anything after a quick (very quick) look in the rule and case books.

You can always hand out a technical foul for unsporting conduct...remember the rule lists some examples but it's not an exhaustive list. It's up to you and your assignor to draw the line.

Other than directing profane or inappropriate language to his players in a loud manner, I'm minding my own business.
