I've been taught "dont" & "get" suggests to one of the coaches that something illegal is happening & leads to "just call the foul/violation!!"

Speaking directly to the defense, "dont hold" is coaching the defense out of a foul in some peoples opinion. "Easy" or "straight" is less subjective. You could be talking to either or both players.

That being said, I'm all for preventitive officiating. I just do it in a different manner.

I'll say 'watch the lane' or 'watch the hands' in first few minutes of game at BOTH ends, after that, they're on their own.

addendum: to your comment, I'm certainly not yelling anything that can be heard outside of a small area such as the paint.
