But many of these comments sound to me like they do give an unfair advantage to one player/team.
"Get it in!" (5 seconds) certainly does. Why help out the offensive team in this situation? Maybe at the grade school level....as a reminder of the rule.....but would you really use this comment in a championship varsity boys contest?
Also, Tim asked a good question that I will paraphrase and ask for some comments about: What is "preventative offciating" trying to prevent?
Thanks!

Again, where in my first post was the CONTEXT of the preventive officiating stated?
Where was it said, every game at every level?
What does it prevent?
It prevents a ruined, actionless game, dominated by an official's whistle without it being necessary.
