The players aren't listening to the rest anyway, and it's not as if sometimes they can enter on the release and sometime they have to wait for the hit.

(Exception: some summer tournaments / leagues play by FED rules and some by NCAA rules, so I do mention "wait" here, especially in the first couple of games.)

Agree with both. When I do say something, it's "let it hit." Anything involving schools or high school aged players, the only words I use are numbers.
