T or not T, that is the question?

It's a local rule.

Because, as I stated before, in most areas it's considered the big'n. Why is it worse than sh1t or damn? I don't know. It is what it is.

I'm not sure what you're saying here, to be honest. I didn't assume anything, I was just wrong. I've never actually met someone from Illinois that wasn't from Chicago, maybe that's why.

I don't want to stop.

That is what we were responding to, not how many feet you are away from the play you were or if someone else could hear it. I know of gyms where the bench is not close to the fans, so it is possible that only a few people could hear something like that. In other places the stands would have heard it. Again, all of those factors matter to me. That might sound like splitting hairs to you, but this is why that word is not an "automatic" to me. Heck a kid can get a T from me without me even knowing what he said, so I do not know why you are stuck on the language part as the only unacceptable part of this action.

Yeah, I know I added the 20 feet thing to make a point.

The only thing the kid in the OP did wrong was the word, so perhaps that's why?

Peace

With this, we agree on more than we disagree. But I'll add that I wouldn't have passed on a similar issue with his player. If it's mumbled under his breath and only I hear it (and maybe a teammate or two), I'll talk to him. If he says it so the opponents can hear it, well, wrong place wrong time kid.
