Exactly. Every official draws their own, particular line in the sand anyway when it comes to what they are gonna take from a coach. That line should be consistent and shouldn't ever move,and it should never be dependant on your position on the court either. Nothing the matter with giving an explanation, no matter where you happen to be standing. The coach's response or actions after that are gonna determine whether you have to do anything further anyway. Just be consistent. The players and coaches have to know what your particular line is, no matter where you happen to be standing.
