On an throw-in, I simply tell a defensive player, "watch the line."
By the way, do you guys use hand whistles, no lanyards? It sounds like a lot of the suggested verbage happens during a live ball. I do a lot more preventative officiating in soccer than in basketball, where my mouth is typically occupied by my whistle.
