Because if he yelled it at the official, I have no problem with given the kid a T at all. I would do the same if the kid said "dawggonnit!!!!," if he felt he was fouled.
But if the kid just missed a wide open layup and yelled, "Jesus Christ!!!!!" I am going to pass. Does not mean I will not say anything, but if that is the first outburst, a T is not automatic.
Just a thought.

I think my approach is in line with yours, I'm not gonna
T everytime a player mutters the f word under his breath,
and I'll remind him to keep it civil. But some level of
self control is expected. I'm inclined to T a player for
missing a layup & yelling out loud anything approaching
what could be called an "explitive", which to me includes
"Jesus Christ!!!!!". To me it's game management. Once you
let the obvious & overt stuff go you've started down a very slippery slope.
