I will say hands off when the arm goes out. Before contact. Call it coaching or whatever you want but makes the game better.
You have made my point exactly. You say it when the hand or arm goes out BEFORE contact. That is preventative officiating. When the hand is already on, and the phrase becomes "hands off" then your are coaching, not preventing and by doing so, you are ignoring a 10-1-4 foul.
