said that, I will say that for any coach of a women's team to use the word you indicated would be totally unacceptable. I have zero tolerance for that. It is in my mind a firing offense. It is difficult for me to wrap my brain around the concept of a man coaching a women's team and having women assistants actually using that word in their presence. Especially when he has a daughter who played at UCONN. And he has a wife. I also don't understand why the player or her parents or an assistant coach would not elevate this issue to higher authorities. It is totally unacceptable.

And I have encountered this in the workplace once. A man used a similar but worse word in the presence of me and 2 others. I went to his manager and told him it was unacceptable and will take it to higher ups if it happens again. The offender apologized to me. It was not repeated.
