Preventative officiating is great and I believe in it 100%, but sometimes it doesn't prevent things like this like a flag would. At the subvarsity level, I'm going to warn a couple of times before flagging it. At the jr. high level, I'm probably not going to flag it, but at the varsity level, we will probably flag this. I say probably because my inclination is to warn once and then flag, but it is something we always discuss in the pregame. So we'll decide what to do, but the most we do is warn once.

This happens in college games, too. Tell them to back up and move on.
