If he/she can't, then it would be alright for the official to step in. I understand that making a travesty of the game would not apply here, since they didn't do anything to their opponents, etc. They are doing it to each other.
Making a travesty of the certainly does apply when fighting breaks out amongst teammates.

Do we allow 4 people rom teh same team to fight among themselves. Where does it stop? 6? 8? The whole team?

He went after him! I picture Red #2 looking at Red 1 saying "what the h3ll are you doing?" And running around the bench/court to prevent from taking a shot from Red 1. Clearly, Red 1 would rather be elsewhere. Wish granted.

I will admit, that the coach should be given the first opportunity to remove a player, but do you really a coach will eject his own player? Bench him maybe... but eject? I'm not so sure about that.
