If it were as acceptable as some of you purpose you would not have to make up a cover-up word like "salty" as a substitute for "foul" or "crude" or "vulgar" or "profane".

Of course not because foul, crude, vulgar, and profane language = salty.
 
why hasn't anyone thrown out the "PC" card yet? lol

There is a legitimate discussion to be had here about language - and there is an interesting discussion to be had about coaches, coach/teachers and teachers... and it applies to swearing - and also to misogynistic, racist, sexist and bigoted language.

one time, I was playing a pick up game on the west coast, drove in for a lefthanded layup with my right elbow swinging to keep defenders away. Guy looks at me and asks, "you from Philly?" Yup....

just like in your profile pic?
 
why does being from Philly make you more of a "curser"? that, and "he's Italian, what do you expect"...

Because we don't think it's as bad as you do, apparently.

I brought it up a couple times. I definitely think there's some paternalism going on, you know, protecting the poor, innocent little girls from the bad words that might scar them for life.

Do CD, Shea, and other assistants (visibly/audibly) use this language when 'representing' UConn?

How often do the the players do it? (No need to name names...everyone knows about the old DT incident(s))

Well, Auriemma must disagree because he keeps choosing her as an assistant for international competition.

Like the team Geno doesnt pick his assts. the committee does.Geno gives his share of input and opinion but doesnt pick players or coaches.Neither does coach K.

Lots of coaches curse at the refs. On all levels. JC did it. Sometimes they deserve it.

I think this is much to do about nothing, personally I give these coaches a lot of credit. The women's game is poorly officiated and that has been the case for years. an expletive every now and then should be expected.

Great point. So, not only does Geno respect & want Dawn at his side, USA Basketball respects her and see her as an upstanding example of USA Basketball....

It's also poorly coached. So, shouldn't refs curse at coaches?

She has been involved with them for years as a player and coach.
 
USC as a team is so laid back and it losses focus during games and Dawn goes off to get their heads back into the game......Most times it works, today, we will see if she goes their with the game at TX AM.........USC is a 25 minute team and against most teams they can survive. Against, UCONN, ND, Baylor they will get killed......UCONN will expose that 15 minutes of lack of focus........
