OK. But why warn them for something that may not happen?

I agree that talking about hand checking or anything else is inappropriate. But so is this.

Personally, I don't address the box unless it's not marked, the benches are not in the normal position which means the coach may need to sit somewhere other than normal or there's something else unusual.
