I tell all new officials that ask..don't say what you see when they are trying to do Preventative Officiating. (e.g don't say hands, don't push, knee) because it brings attention to the very thing your trying to get them to stop.
Heaven help the official if the coach hears it and his player is the one being pushed etc.. I tell them to use the word easy or careful. Every now and then I get a player that comes to me and say are you talking to me or him. I say both.
Just my 2 cents
