Bama,
A reach is NOT a foul. A hit, push, hold, etc. is a foul. Please do not use the term reaching foul. To us on the forum who know the rules it is like scratching one's fingers on a chalkboard. We just cringe.
Also, my personal opinion is that the officials should just call the game in the last ten seconds the same way they called the first 31 minutes and 50 seconds. There is no need to instruct the players not to foul. I would not do what these "veteran" officials did. Especially, if they used the word reach!
