this is the best course of action for a newbie, blow the whistle and keep blowing it some more. With game experience, that official will understand better to call more obvious fouls and not call so much marginal contact.

I'm curious: how is the latter a natural result of the former?
I'd tell the guy at half something like, "look, here's the deal: we can get anyone out here to blow a whistle every time there's contact. The reason we have YOU out here is to determine what contact is deemed illegal and what is deemed incidental." Then talk about protecting the shooter and those who have legally gained an advantageous position, etc.
