I think a word you can hear on broadcast TV 24/7 is not worthy of a T. Thats MY judgment on the matter.
Look, we set aside rules all the time. How many ticky tack travels have all of us passed on in a 65-15 blowout? It happens all the time but the NFHS says we are to call traveling when a player picks up his pivot for example.
Its about COMMON SENSE if you ask me. If you go around calling every infraction in the book every time, you wont be reffing very long at any significant level.
It would be different if the coach used BS or F or GD or my favorite: FinGDBSCSSOB. None of those you hear on TV and all justify somewhere between a warning and a T if they are used loudly enough to be heard.
"Damn" and "Hell" arent on that list.
