I don't think he meant warn rather than penalize after the act.
We now return to the extremely well-deserved bashing of Sir Charles.

I'll do this in middle school, maybe lower level JV, but I see no reason to coach players above that level on this particular rule.
Oh, and as has been stated, don't tell them it has to hit the rim, because that's not true. The two or three times a season I say something in middle school, I leave it at "let it hit."
