The guidelines we give our officials is that if the profanity is the result of the player being mad at himself for making a bad play and he says is "under his breath" and no one in the stands hears it, usually you let it go, unless it is repeated. Anything above that is a T. ANY profanity directed at you is a flagrant T with ejection.
There are some rec leagues we do that have a rule that ANY profanity by a player or coach, no matter what the reason or circumstance, is a flagrant T with ejection.
