Just my opinion, but the comment that foul language was overheard by the refs, whether or not it was "intended" to be heard, would be enough for me to either warn the coach, or T him up right away. We don't accept foul language from the kids, and certainly shoulnd't allow it to be used during the game (timeouts and quarters included) by the adults responsible for them. We penalize a kid for swearing at themselves (or we should be, since it is an extention of the classroom, and as a teacher also, I do this in the classroom as well as outside as a sports official), and the adults are supposed to be held to a higher standard.
