Like everyone else says, if it's loud enough for the crowd to hear, give the T. If it's only heard on the court, remind the player to watch their language as soon as possible. If it's an adult league, I had some success the one and only time that I worked adults, by mentioning this in your pregame. Tell them right off about your concerns with kids being in the stands and let them know that if they are swearing, you are going to assess the T.

Fbomb at the refs

JR-

I agree with you. I would have assessed at flagrant T for that one as well. I guess my partner was feeling a bit too nice. Actually, I think he was shocked more than anything. The kid in question is usually well-behaved, he is actually the son of one of the HS assistant coaches around here, but he goes to private school. For his part, the coach did sit the kid down for the rest of the game; and the school actually suspended him for a short time.

Boys varsity this weekend. 3 minutes into the game. Player on the floor was taking some ribbing from his own bench. He says (though doesn't yell), "Shut the f--- up!" I whacked him. He was incredulous. Coach says loudly from player, "What do you expect at a Christian college? Just knock it off and play basketball!!"

That is correct. I also had an offensive foul this game if I may say so myself.

Thanks for the input everyone, I'm glad to see everyone feels the same way, and I'm glad the rule seems to hold true for high school.

A Baseball player was batting and was thrown out of the game after telling the umpire he was a dirty %^$*&^. Years later, the player sees the umpire and says "You know, you were the only umpire to ever throw me out of a game, and I bet you don't even remember what happened." The umpire says, "Oh, yes i do. You called me a dirty %^$*&^." The player said "You're right, but it was only me, you and the catcher that heard that." The umpire says "That's true. But I couldn't let that catcher go through life thinking I was a dirty %^$*&^."

That's why you T them up.

Here's a situation.

Partner calls a foul. The offending player wasn't quite happy with the call. You switch as partner goes to table to report the foul. The player says something like "F*** YOU" directed to your partner. Now, not a lot of people heard it but you did and you are 100% sure that it was directed to your partner.

Do you T him up?

Yeah, he might as well miss the next game, too.

Talking

What about an international player swears in a foreign language, such as French?

It is not always what you say; it is how you say it.

Peace

A few years back I was working games at the Nike World Master's Tournament in Portland, OR...had a Lithuanian team playing, and one of them didn't like a call - said something in whatever language they speak there, and I T'd him No idea what he said, but the expression and body language told me it wasn't a compliment...one of the other Lithuanian players walked by me and said "Good call, referee. He deserved that." So like they said - it isn't always WHAT they say...
