I don't disagree with the intent of this post but
Every coach knows the rules dictate good sportsmanship from him and his players and yet I remind them of this at every plate meeting.
Every coach knows by rule his players must be equipped properly and yet I ask at every plate meeting if they are indeed equipped properly.

If a league has a zero tolerance policy on language I don't think it is at all out of line to remind the coach of this policy at the plate meeting.
It's consistent with what the plate meeting is used for.
