I will talk, but it's always so generic that players just assume I'm talking to them.
My usual line is, "EASY!" and magically the banging stops and the knee comes farther out of the player's butt.
(I'll do this once on a matchup. If that doesn't fix things, the next time I'll simply call the foul. Three seconds? It's not worth a talking to, at least at the varsity level, cause it rarely becomes an issue that needs addressing. I'm not one of these officials who "won't call it" and I think I've called it four times all season.)
