After I report to the table and the coach, I'll briefly say, "Did everyone understand what just happened here? Defense, don't reach across the line on a throw in. The first time is a warning, after that, it's a technical foul."

I normally don't do that for high school games. I did it once for a JV game, and the coach happily thanked more for it.
Can't say I'd do that...even in a middle school game. I'd just remind the defender not to cross the plane.

I had a JVG tell me 'good call' once. My reply, 'Glad you think so, your coach thinks we're idiots.'
