[Coach B]

My experience at international level is that ‘Dangerous Play’ calls made to prevent dangerous situations ‘before a potential incident’, as listed in 17.2 of the annotations, tend to trigger a feeling of reproach and subsequent rejection in opponents – more precisely at the moment of enunciation – so that these calls are rarely accepted.
I’m not a native speaker, but in my opinion the word ‘withdrawal’ is probably the right one to express that you refrain from a play without offensively accusing the opponent of playing recklessly.
I therefore suggest adding this special term to the rules (or annotations) for the explicit case.

In my opinion, a good example would have been the situation of Kaela Helton against Manuela Cárdenas in the 2022 WUCC final. (Although of course I can’t judge to what extent this would have had an influence on this particular situation, but I am convinced that if you introduce the call starting already at youth & amateur level, it will have a positive effect on the handling of dangerous plays or withdraws later on and will raise the awareness of avoiding these plays).
