Doesn't "re-iterate" and "iterate mean the same thing?

Does anyone care?

Yes, kinda like ravel and unravel.

And in my experience, no, nobody cares.

I don't see it as coaching to tell the players (and I always make sure both teams know) whether it's a "spot" or "you can run". And when the defense comes right up to the boundary line, I say "You can move back, but not side to side". I don't want the kid to hear "spot" and think, he has to stand there with the defender in his face.
