We all have our different "triggers", but from my perspective, this isn't even close, whether rec league, high school, or college. If a player uses that sort of profanity and it is directed at me, he is done. "Whack, Get Out". I love it.

I have a great deal of difficulty believing anybody here would allow "stupid motherf**king idiot" to pass.

Sorry.

As do I, but read the thread:

Coach-Player misconduct: Get involved?

Some officials have a different level of tolerance than others. As for me, the only time I'm giving a pass on f*** is if it's screamed by a player on the floor with a compound fracture, or something similar. Other officials might not have a big problem with f*** depending on the context.

I thought your take here was funny, but I think you're misrepresenting what he said. This was directed at the official, I'm pretty sure that's an easy T even for him. Whether he'd go flagrant is another question.

Anyone who wouldn't ship him on that one? His team was just amazed that I would do that, I was amazed at the stupidity...
It is ALWAYS idiot week around there. (Wreck/IM in general, not just your league).

Flagrant T in any campus rec IM game with an administrator who has any idea what they're doing. (Am, and do, so I get to be critical.) Out of curiosity, what was he so upset about?

Was flying at the goal out of control, attempted a circus shot and lost control of the ball, OOB off his knee. Player claimed he was bumped as he shot (and I use that term loosely) the ball. Apparently he was the only one on the court who did not realize it was his own teammate (the only person even within reach) who hit him, and was none too happy to have that little fact explained to him.

Another question? "That's about as clear-cut as a" flagrant gets?

Note: Is anything that is discussed on The Forum in more than ten posts really clear-cut? That's my point.
