A cheap foul on the starting point guard early in the game when no meaningful advantage was gained is not worth calling. It may look like a little message from the ref in the first quarter, but it may turn out to put a player in foul trouble.

That's not my concern, it's the coach's. If the PG gets an early foul, then he's not going to hand check again. He'll have to adjust his game, Tell him not to do it and he won't have a problem.
But in any case, a handchecking foul in the 1st quarter should send a meesage to the coaches and player, "Hey, we're not going to put up with that toinight." You'll adjust or you won't. It's up to you.

Well, that doesn't make much sense but if that's what you believe, fine. If I choose to warn about anything, then that's a courtesy. but if you're gaining an advantage, you're not getting a warning. You're getting a foul. Coach' it's a POE. We've been told to call it, and we're doing so in my area.
How much more warning do you need?
