I don't like the idea of just warning the coach. because, what happens at the next TO and the same thing happens? i've read and read the rulebook about this. and i can't find where i can charge anyone other than the player who said it. but, if you can't see who said it. i guess i would have to hover very, very close to their huddle at the next TO. i would warn the coach to clean it up. and then hover around the huddle next time to watch.

any other advise?
Yes, you certainly can charge a team "T" for unsporting conduct under 10-1-8. Unlike other posters, I won't ignore that type of language either. It's got absolutely no place in high school sports imo. If all officials would grow some balls and stop letting players get away with this junk, then it might not be as prevalent as it has seemed to become. If we all start calling it, then maybe the coaches will think about dealing with it. You sureashell knew what team was responsible for the F-shots in this case ;go ahead and make them be responsible.

Again jmo.
