A player who directs such flagrant profanity at you has already gotten personal. To talk to you in that fashion illustrates that he has no respect for you whatsoever. Also, don't get hung up on the word "you." There's nothing magical about it.
In my state, I don't have to bother with making a decision in this situation. It's an automatic flagrant T and a 2 game suspension, no questions asked. Tough? Yeah, maybe so, but you know what? I've never had a kid yell at me, ""What the F***, that was a G** D*** foul." And I doubt I ever will.
BTW, I realize your state may not have the same policy as mine. But even if that wasn't the NCHSAA policy, I still run him for saying that.
