I'm not sure about Nevada's response. He did say NO to my question about whether I should consider changing... So I'm unharmed (so far)

If you remain vague, ("Keep moving", for example) the players might catch it, but the coach might not.
You know I just read something from someone else about not being player specific about warnings. To clarify, I'm talking to players early in game, letting them know I'm aware of them and what they are doing -- preventative officiating. But I am going to try to avoid the specific numbers going forward.
