I had a situation the other day in a U16G game.  Foul on a red player just
outside the PA.  Blue player took the ball and placed it for a kick.  2 red
defenders immediately situated themselves about 4 yards from the ball.  I
told the defenders that they needed to give 10 yards.  They then took 2
steps towards the ball.  When I walked over and cautioned them, they started
whining that I didn't measure off 10 yards for them.  I countered that, when
I told them to give 10 yards and they moved towards the ball, they knew
exactly what they were doing.  The whining stopped and I didn't have any
similar problems for the rest of the match.
