Ideas

Rather than: "You have to take out your earrings”........
BETTER: "Remove your earrings and you'll be allowed to continue to warm up."

Suggestion for Another Phrase Best Unsaid: "On the Floor!!!!!"
Heard far too frequently when the foul occurs after the act of shooting has previously begun. Of course the shooter was on the floor -- but, having "gathered the ball", that's part of the act of shooting. Better to say, "No shot! or "Ball out-of-bounds." That's more accurate according to rule than the phrase "On the Floor".
