Refereeing primarily intermurals, I get more than my share of moaning and groaning. As long as its not distracting, I'll normally let it go. I take pride in really emphasizing trying to teach players quickly if its a rule they aren't sure about...i.e. calling a foul for moving someone back 2 feet while boxing out. Kids seem to think thats what you're supposed to do when you box out.
Intermurals is filled with the idea of warnings. However, one immediate thing that does not get a warning is any cuss word directed at me or my partners. A cuss word for a missed shot or something like that will normally get a warning as well... but directed to me means T.
Just my humble thoughts
