Cussing isn't this issue.  Take a look these two statements, and tell which one isn't likley to taken well by a player (who we'll call Jones):

1.)  C'mon, Jones!  Get your shit together out there!

2.) Jones, you are such a f#$@n idiot!

I'm going to go with #2 being much more likely to cause friction between a player and a coach.

And agree or disagree with the intent, anyone with an IQ north of 80 knows that a white man calling a black man "thug" in 2020 isn't going to be received well.
