I agree...players should know the rules. So should the officials but I still see some put both arms up like they are reaching over someone and call "Over the back". Coaches should also know all the rules...but many don't bother with the finer points. That is why they occassionally ask questions...I assume you try to deal with them.
I am of the opinion that while we are not there to coach the players we need to remember the people behind the benches did not come there to watch us blow our whistle and prance around. If I can quickly say things like "clear the paint, guys", "Don't push", "Keep it clean", "Watch the hands" and keep the game flowing smoothly without giving someone an unfair advantage I should do so...just not the entire game
There is no harm in doing it...in fact, I view it as a part of good game management.
