There are too many variables that come up in this game to tell them exactly what an unsportiing act is at pregame.

My pregame with the captains is quick: "If you see your teammates losing their heads, take care of it for me."
During the game, I'll offer a reminder to a player getting close to the line if he gives me a chance, but I have no intention of creating the impression that they deserve a warning of some sort.
