3 Seconds / Preventive or Coaching?

[Larks]

Ok..so lets talk Three...

A5 standing in the paint....you do a little preventative officiating and get him / her out right?

I've gotten into the good or bad habit of suggesting the player move by saying things like..."keep moving" or "get out" etc. If they dont seem to take the hint, then I call it.

I was recently told that this terminology could be construed as "coaching" thus resulting in an advantage being given the offense.

The suggested phrase given to me was "get legal" or "get legit" or even to call out a number..something like "15 where are you"?

Seems like 6 of one / half a dozen of another to me.

So...Old guys....well, fine...anyone....whats your approach to the 3 in the paint?
