Last week, I heard a player say, "Why can't we get the friggin' ball in the friggin' basket?" It was under her breath, directed at a teammate. I didn't call anything or say anything, because I wasn't sure I should. If my own kids say that, they get the same treatment as the F-bomb, but of course, I can't apply all my home rules on the court!
How do others here feel about using the various euphemisms on the court?

A show of frustration is part of the game. We are officials, not priests.

When it gets out of hand, deal with it, but don't go looking for trouble.

Jewel,
I have no preconceived guidlines regarding player speak.
I go on the premise that I'll know it when I hear it.
If the bell goes off, I'll ring 'em up.

My guess is that most kids don't know what "friggin" means. Most people don't, either. It's roughly the same as the "F-bomb" to which you referred. With this one, I would pass just like I would if they said the "darn ball."

I have zero tolerance for blatant profanity if I see who says it. It's unsportsmanlike and detracts from the game. Furthermore, there are usually small kids in the bleachers, and that sets a bad example. There was one last night behind my back, but I couldn't ID the offender.

What constitutes blatant? I guess I go with Mick. I know it when I hear it and the "bell goes off!"

It's not always what they say - sometimes it's the way they say it...a player looks right at you and yells "Oh, nice call" derisively while clapping their hands - you might T them for that...in your case, it was said between teammates, so why bother with it?

I would tell the kid to be careful if it was directed towards him(her)self or his/her teammates. If it was directed towards the other team it is automatic and without hesitation.

IMO the kid was controlled enough to know better than to use the "foul" language I would not T.

What about swears in languages other than English? If you were 110% sure that a kid was using profanity in Spanish or French or Russian, etc., would you give him/her a technical foul?
