I disagree. In JV and below I would do that. At varsity, we aren't there to make decisions for them. If 4 hints isn't enough to get them to think, then let them have it.

Exactly. If they don't understand, then they will after their choice. Choices have consequences. I bet they won't make the same mistake again. What have they lost but a bad choice in that one game? They have gained far more than they lost.
