You want a warning? ...On ball?
Except for a few noted exceptions, you have to make the call/no-call. Verbal warnings are acceptable in many cases, but applicable to only off-ball situations.
If you want to coach hand riding by your point guard to test the officials, that is certainly your right, and... your gamble.

Don't think I would question these calls - I was referring to the measuring up provisions only. I think the measuring up can be cleaned up by warnings first, then foul calls. And I like your 3 count. Don't know if 3 is the right number, but you have a rule of thumb, you are consistent, and it isn't going to result in a lot of touch fouls. A player has to ask for the whistle, and then you are ready to give it. Sounds great to me.
As for coaching my players to hand-check, I guess I could do it but it wouldn't work anyway. Girls can't handcheck, 'cause they're to busy reaching in to get the ball
