Stick Pumping

I've noticed a lot of experienced pilots I fly with (not all) almost always pump the stick back and forwards on landing instead of smoothly bringing it back into the pit of your stomach just before the mains touch.

I've never noticed if I do it (I'm usually too busy thinking at the time and I always forget to ask other people to notice if I do it)

The question is, is this an accepted practice, if not how would you suggest teaching people to stop it?

Thanks
