Do you say something to the coach when you get a chance or just go with the OBS call all night ?
My partner thought I should explain to player/coach what's going on, kind of a warning deal. I tend to fall into the camp of thats coaching....
Your thoughts ?

If it is deliberate (IMJ), I would warn F3 to cut it out. Usually, they will adjust to the warning. If they don't, an ejection will send the message home. If it is ineptness (IMJ) and I believed it was a safety issue, I'd speak to the coach about it from a safety perspective, but also telling him that it is illegal and they have no chance at getting an out with that technique.
