Boys JV game last year. Player swore under his breath after being called for a shooting foul. Was not directed at anyone in particular. After the players were lined up, before I administered the shot, I said to him in front of everyone,
"I'm think I heard you say shoot. Just don't cross that line as swearing will get you tee'd up."
Every one gets the message. Now, if the expletive was directed AT any official or player, then WHACK!
