I never thought of this situation but in AL we tell players and coaches in the pre-game conference that there is a zero tolerance on profanity in the state. Our association president and district commissioner both emphasized it last season and I say it at every game. Since we are supposed to clamp down on players who use profanity (under any situation), I would think the same applies to coaches too. Now, would I? In two years I haven't actually heard a coach curse at a player and, I don't listen for it either. If I hear it I would have to admit that I think it would depend on the circumstance. If it was said low at the end of a TO and I was near the huddle I would probably warn. If it is yelled out loud for all to hear then I think a T is warranted. If you don't call a T and you are being evaluated you may hear about it later. I think this is something I will ask our commissioner.
