I guess its all about where one lives, the levels one works & who one works for...
I've been taught "dont" & "get" suggests to one of the coaches that something illegal is happening & leads to "just call the foul/violation!!"
Speaking directly to the defense, "dont hold" is coaching the defense out of a foul in
some peoples opinion. "Easy" or "straight" is less subjective. You could be talking to either or both players.
That being said, I'm all for preventitive officiating. I just do it in a
different manner.
