I noticed a huge difference in football and basketball; particularly with this word when used between teammates. Around here, use between teammates earned a "talk to." I'm not sure I'd address it at all if it came from a coach.
Basketball is different, though. Maybe it is because everything is so enclosed. Most huddles in football are at least 30-40 yards away from spectators, outside. In basketball, there's as little as 3 feet separating the bench and spectators.
