Our state only requires a report for an ejection. That is the main reason why I reported it as a Flagrant Technical because even though the game is over, that still makes it an ejection. As others have said, just because the game is over, he doesn't get a free shot at the crew. We discussed it as a crew after the game, and one of the newer officials on the crew asked why I considered it flagrant as opposed to a normal technical. I told him because he was swearing at us, he did it repeatedly, and he was following us toward our locker room to do so instead of heading the other way with his team to shake hands after the game. If he had said it once as we walked by, I'm taking the first two sentences of seanwestref's first response to this thread -- I keep on walking and ignore it. But this action deserved a response, and I tried to do it in the most professional way I could that would assure a consequence for the behavior.
