I've gotten into the good or bad habit of suggesting the player move by saying things like..."keep moving" or "get out" etc. If they dont seem to take the hint, then I call it.

I was recently told that this terminology could be construed as "coaching" thus resulting in an advantage being given the offense.

The suggested phrase given to me was "get legal" or "get legit" or even to call out a number..something like "15 where are you"?

Seems like 6 of one / half a dozen of another to me.

So...Old guys....well, fine...anyone....whats your approach to the 3 in the paint?

I say, "Out of the key". Never been accused of coaching. I do it for both teams. I even get a thanks now and then from a player.
