I was at an AAU tournament last year (16U), where the coach was actually swearing at his players in the timeout huddle. I mean, you could hear it in the stands. If one wants to put such a high emphasis on winning and championships, part of that should be sportsmanship and decency. If the only way a coach can motivate his or her players is to swear at them or embarass them or act like a fool, then maybe he or she deserves a T; or more.
Do you warn a coach whom is using profanity within his huddle first, or just go ahead and T him?
Just for the record, in a case like this I'm gonna nail that coach with no warning. If I can hear the swearing, and others can hear it also, then it's gonna cost the coach-- especially if it happens in the younger age groups in club ball--AAU,CYO, whatever. Jmo.
