Usually a couple of times in the first quarter I'll say "clear" or "get out" and I'll also remind players with a "hands off" or "straight up". I'm not coaching or giving an advantage because it's done at both ends. I believe it's preventitive officiating that helps get the flow of the game going. I usually don't do it beyond the first few minutes but I think it helps player know we're watching and people would rather watch them play than us officiate.
See the tread on; What is more important....
