I guess we can just leave it at that.

Well the NFHS POE states "
officials must pay particular attention" to "inappropriate language," which is under the classification of "unsporting acts."
Now what is the penalty for an unsporting act in NFHS play? Hmmmmm....is it a verbal warning or a technical foul? I'm sure it's listed in Rule 10.
Of course, I am well aware that you and Rut will do as you wish, and without someone from the NFHS, your state office, or your association there who desires otherwise and has the power to effect what you do, it won't make any difference.
Of course, neither will you and that is sad as I believe that making a difference in the lives of young people is a part of being an NFHS game official. Civility and citizenship is what the NFHS desires.
