By what standard do you claim it's always inappropriate to use the language, even if it's accepted in some places? Frankly, there are few words that I consider obscene or profane. Hell is not one. And to accept the use of "heck" in its place doesn't change anything; it certainly doesn't change the meaning.

I'm not talking about ignoring a blatant rule breakage. I hear the comment and determine it doesn't break the rules as I understand them. now, if he's directing it at me, such as "How in the hell could you not see that foul?" it's a different story. I'm not sure "hell" makes it any worse than "heck" would, either.
So you're holding the coach to a higher standard in addressing you than in addressing a child/player? I would hope they have a higher standard the other way - I expect respect, but adult to adult, I expect to take a little more than I would expect them to give to kids.
