The NCAA said coaches will be given technical fouls for their first utterance of profanity during a game and will be ejected after a second offense, the Indianapolis Star reported Monday.

Purdue coach Matt Painter said the adjustment shouldn't be too difficult for coaches.

"I'm not saying I don't swear at all, but it's not like you have to do it," Painter said. "(Coaches) don't swear when they do their radio or TV show, and that's live, so if you have that ability to turn it on and off, you can do it in a game."

The crackdown was also welcomed by other coaches.

"It's great. It's needed," said Notre Dame coach Mike Brey, who begins a term on the rules committee next May. "There's no question how we come across. We're supposed to be educators. I think we need to keep that in mind with language, body language, staying in the darn coaching box and staying off the darn floor. I think it's all good stuff. There are a lot of people within earshot of the bench."
