If a defender has legal guarding position on the dribbler,
and the dribbler is using it to beat the defender (backcourt or frontcourt), I will call it. If the dribbler has noone near him, I may verbally warn him (if I am close enough that he only can hear me). Otherwise, after the ball becomes dead, I may go over to him or his coach and tell them. If the coach is smart, he will relay it to the player, and this could possibly avert a problem later in the game. I have found that some, alright most, will keep doing it!!! (stubbon litle buggers!!!) Just remember if they force you to call it, CALL IT!!!
Go back to your playing days, and remember when someone did it against you. Were you upset when you were working hard playing defense and then all of a sudden they blew by you.
