I'm very weary about making these 'suggestions' by number. If you warn gold 15, then call a foul on white 3, white's coach is going to be pissed as to why his player didn't get a warning. If, however, you say to clean up post play, that is an equal warning to both teams. (Never mind the fact that white #3 should have enough brains to pick up on the warning as well).

As for names - I wouldn't use them during the course of play, especially when in the post when the other players can hear you. Unless you know everyone's name (and use them), it seems like you're playing favorites or have a personal connection with the player - neither of which is a good perception for people to have of you.
What BoSoxBoy said!

Keep it generic. You might warn Gold 15 in the first quarter for something. You may wanna warn him again in the fourth quarter also-depending on circumstances. If you're using numbers or names,fer sure you're gonna hear from the opposing coach- "How many damn warnings are you gonna give him?You're killing us out here!". Not much you can say in reply,is there?
