I'm just curious what the volleyball culture is regarding cursing. I've had a couple situations this season where a player cursed loudly enough to be heard (since our gyms are rarely packed). But he was cursing only at himself for a bonehead play, or at a teammate.
In basketball, we tend to be a little more tolerant of cursing. Maybe because (around here, anyway) there is a large urban/street culture surrounding the game. If the cursing can only be heard by the player and the ref, it's usually ignored.
But since I never played or coached volleyball, I'm wondering if the volleyball community takes a different view. If a player shanks a dig out of bounds and drops a fairly quiet F-bomb, do you address it? If a player tells a teammate to get his head into the f-ing game, do you address it?
