Makes no difference. If you didn't hear what he said, you have no business throwing the T.
Let me clarify 99.9999% of the time I know exactly what was said. The other .0001% I heard enough of it to have a good idea.

And all games have the same value. I take as much pride in what I do and put in as much effort in a 6th grade Jr High game as I do in a college game. The difference is that I expect a lot more from a college player. At the lower levels there are more opportunities to teach. You also have more latitude in how you handle situations.

Fine. If you hear something, then call the T. But don't bait the kid into it by asking, "Did you say something?"

By asking him I'm trying to avoid the T. If he tells me what he said, I'll just talk to him and he'll avoid the T. That's the whole trying to teach part. If he lies to me and gets whacked, whatever he said deserved it in the first place and now he lied.
