It really could be anything, such as "Watch their center, she tends to throw a lot of elbows if you aren't watching." The intent here wasn't to obtain clarification of enforcement of a rule, it was to put the ref in a certain mindset with relation to the other bench.

Coach (barely audible): "Hey ref, watch #5 OK, he's throwing that elbow (or whatever)."

Me: "Hey thanks coach, #5 on white. I'll take care of it right away."

Coach: "White??!! No! Not white! Blue! #5 on blue!!"

Me: "Got it coach, white 5. I'll be looking."

This is guaranteed to work.
