Regarding coaches swearing at their players (not officials) in and around the bench area:
1. What counts as profanity varies in different parts of the country. To pick one example already mentioned in this thread: "dammit" or even "god dammit" are not widely regarded as obscene around here, but they are in many parts of the country.
2. I seem to recall that NFHS had a POE or interp on enforcing 10-4-1c even in the bench area (not addressed to officials).
