To Another Player: "You F***ing Suck."

[JRutledge]

If this was a high school game I probably would have no problem if someone ruled this flagrant. It would depend on the tone of the game. Some off season mess, I really have no problem with a flagrant. They are happy to even be playing anything at that time. I have less tolerant for any crap in the off-season.

Peace

In a HS game, I know I'm going to be supported by the people I'm writing reports for.

Meaning just the T, or class A in a college game, right?

I actually disagree with Cameron. In an organized HS game, I'm going flagrant T just as quickly.

Just for funsies, what if we take the f-word out of the equation? Just the T, yes? This was a first for me.

I got a T for what he said. If he throws out a racial slur for example I would upgrade to Flagrant. But just for what he said I don't see a flagrant.

However, with that said, my tolerance depends on the time and place.

A1 did respond to some provocation (B1 said "something chippy"), which might have lessened my response from flagrant to ordinary T, but I'm not going to secondguess you for making that call in the context as you saw it. I also think your partners could have been a little more supportive: the fact is it was not a college game and for the big dog to call it bullsh*t and "that's just bad" was to question your judgment. And I'd make no distinction between HS and HS rec league--either way, the language and conduct are unacceptable.
