Not when the ball is in the hands of a player for inbounding and the instruction is to the defender guarding the inbound pass..... which is the only situation where I use "don't reach".
"Straight up," is better in that situation anyway because you are talking about a plane.
I disagree - the warning & subsequent T are for reaching across the boundary line - "don't reach" is about as clear as you can get.

No the warning is for BREAKING the plane, not reaching across the plane.

When a player hears straight up, their reaction is normally to put their hands up and stop leaning into the plane.

The word REACHING should NEVER be used by an official, EVER. [/B]
Coach I am reaching my limit here.....
