I do not think you say anything. The rules are clear what can and cannot be done. If you spend time telling the coaches what they can or cannot do to me that is coaching.

While I believe your philosophy would be true in the NCAA or NFL, most of the posts on this board deal with varsity and below. Most of the coaches really don't know the rules...do you really think the kids know. A little preventative officiating will go along way. Do you just flag them and not tell them what they did wrong? Maybe you're just above all us who enjoy working with the kids and want them to learn and better understand the rules. I'm not say you hold a class on the free blocking zone out on the field, but a simple sentence will take alot less time then administering a bunch of penalties all night.
