"F" Word to T of not
Last night, Boys Senior game (Varsity to you US types), player gets trapped and pivots out of bounds. I call the play on bench side, player passes me the ball and yells "I am playing like an F...ing idiot". I whack him due to the volume, but my partner on the stands side says he did not hear it. What do you guys think about it?

Whack...
|
Yep, let it rip....might help remind him not to do it again, especially in a tight game where it might cost his team dearly.
|
F = t

If it's just loud enough that I'm probably the only one who heard it, I'll talk to his coach. Any louder, it'll be a T 99.9% of the time.
|
99 and 44/100 % ???

Agree. If you heard it, it's got to be addressed. And since you're going to address it, why wouldn't you T this? It is an early season game, where nothing is at stake. This is a great time to remind the kids of the penalties that accompany such behavior. In the end, you're doing the kid a favor by whacking him today rather than letting it pass, tacitly reinforcing the behavior, and to some degree setting him up to get whacked for it in a regular season game.

It depends on where I am at, where the comment was made and how many people heard it and who they were talking to. Nothing should be automatic, but it should be addressed.

A little off topic...
A little off topic but I believe still relevent. During a varsity basketball game... I had a coach to mutter under his breath...."Next time I hope they send me a varsity crew...." He said it under his breath with his back turned and I am sure that I was the only one to hear it, but I agonized later on not whackining him for that one....If for no other reason the fact that he makes a practice of making snide comments under his breath in all of his games. The comment caught me a little off guard and I failed to whack him when I thought that he possibly deserved it. Of course his conduct did not improve throughout the game and maybe if I had whacked him then...(this situation was in the first few minutes of the game) perhaps the game would have been better because of it.... Your thoughts please.....

I'm not conducting a survey
If I hear it, it's as good as the whole gym hearing it.
