Had to whack a kid this weekend for swearing all the way up the court about a no-call. A few minutes later, some swearing happens between the players (I didn't hear it). Teammate to the kid I whacked asked why I didn't call a T on the kid for swearing. Told him I didn't hear it, it wasn't directed at me (or my partner), and wasn't aware of a rule for technical foul for swearing.
Is there a rule for no swearing between players? By this I mean the kids are not swearing about a no-call, or a perceived bad call. But, one kid swearing at another (i.e. shut the f*!? up). Does this fall under unsportsmanlike conduct?
