I do this every game, every throw in both visually and verbally so that not only the player has been told, but the player also knows and if they look at the video they can see what I have told them. It takes away the confusion and backs up what they were told. I think this suggestion is spot on and solid advice. We have to stop being so sensitive when things are suggested.
