Hold on to your horses. Forum members had a thread a few months ago on what level of profanity some of us would pass on, and what level of profanity others wouldn't. It's a wide ranging spectrum, far from clear-cut.

It's not the words, Billy. It's the words along with the fact they're directed AT THE OFFICIAL. I'd say the ejection is 75% personal comment and 25% the actual words that he used.

And 10% body language.

That's right, this one was 110% deserved.

Part of the issue is not just profanity... It's the 3 P's:

Profane
Prolonged
Personal.

This one is T-worthy for the 3rd P alone. And probably ejectable on most people's radars for the 1st one as well.

Most of the "I'll let it go" profanity talk was wrt comments not made directly at an official. And that's a big difference.

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.

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.
