"You're on a spot." - with appropriate point to the floor.

"You have the entire endline." - with approprate hand signal.

A few nights ago, the player's response, with a grin, "Thanks. I probably won't need it." (There was no defensive pressure.)

I usually say to a player, "You can run if you need to." And if it is clear there is no press or press coverage of any kind I sometimes add, "You may not need to." Usually gets a laugh or a smile.

I say the same thing when there is no pressure.
