Be consistent. For all your games set your standards. Draw an imaginary line on the floor, and when they cross that line, surprise them!!

Wouldn't that be better advice to just tell them to make that line known with a warning and then back it up?
Technicals flying out of no where, this is a perceived place, looks worse than a clear cut stop sign that everyone sees getting run by the coach.
