I guess it would be okay after the penalty to tell the captain that they could free kick...But me personally.
I would have to say I wouldn't. I am telling them that they can replay the down. If they knew that they could free kick the first time then they should know it for replaying the down.
Like I said there is a fine line between preventive officiating and coaching...

OK, see what happens when you don't get the phrasology right?
Agreed that when it becomes personal that's the end. I always tell new umps. "That's a crappy call!" (not too loud or long)is an opinion, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. (they are also enitled to keep it to themselves) "YOU made a crappy call" is a personal attack, and we deal with it appropriately.
Of course sometimes their 'opinion' requires that my opinion be "you're done for the day!"
