I'm in the camp that says we should ref not coach. I think we should be worrying about making sure that we refs are on the same page, not coaching the kids. A good thing to do in that sitch might also be to remind the timekeeper (part of our crew) to watch for the "chop time" signal before starting the clock.

My experience has been that any time I have worked with a veteran ref who has said things in his pregame like "let the players decide the game" or "I don't make cheap calls," it's been followed by a game that is entirely too physical. I think saying, "let's have a slow whistle and let's not anticipate the calls" is better.
