This is the kind of stuff that you let go and it will only get worse later. You gotta deal with it immediately.

I'm with PS2MAN on this. If a quick "f***!" or "s***!" is directed at no one after a blown play I'm letting it go, assuming the "kids" are old enough to shave. I might say something quietly to the guy later, if I remember.

Lucky for the player that I wasn't doing the game. Profanity is profanity, but if I'm addressed by a player directly, then he's toast.
Maybe a T, maybe an ejection depending on what kind of mood I might be in or if I'd had any problems with the kid during the game.
Often I will say something to a kid in passing to watch your language etc., and then if he continues the proper penalties are applied.
Different topic, but same for a coach. He will usually get a reprimand from me if I hear him using profanity. He can do what he wants in the locker room, but the court is different.
Thanks
David
