If I were the coach, I would have questioned throwing a kid out for saying (or even screaming) the word "damn."

The words "damn" or "hell" are not considered vulgarities, but the f-word most certainly is. Notice how damn and hell get past the very sensitive censor on this website, which catches the really bad words every time.
