Our local board normally encourages us officials to be somewhat verbal. But not to a degree that creates an unfair advantage.

If the game gets physical, I do say 'hands off guys' or 'easy there'. I too only give a few warnings. I don't keep saying it over and over again.

Normally if I say hands off, go down the court, come back, and they do the same thing again, I am going to start calling it.

So, in a way, I do what you do. I don't see anything wrong with being verbal; however, just be fair and do it to both sides and not just to one side.
