So if they make such a choice, I accept some fault as maybe I didn't communicate the options clearly.
You won't last long around where I work in the stick it to 'em camp.

Amen.
I simply won't let the kids make a mistake during a game that I can (and should) prevent. I will go as far as looking in the coach's direction and giving a little "decline" signal and asking "is that what you want?"
I know some WHs cringe at this, but I don't really care. When I work the professional level....oh, wait, I see WHs in the NFL ask the coaches directly all the time. Bad example....or maybe it's a good example after all.
