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?

Keep moving works. I prefer to NOT coach...errr...help (?) a player by name or number.

This is a very good point.
I remind myself not to point any player out specifically when, for example, a player is being too rough in the key and now we're at foul shots. It's a great time to say, "Let's clean up the play a bit under the hoop," or similar. Usually the guy knows it's him. And others are reminded that we like to see a nice game flow as well.
