Lots of good suggestions. The important thing to remember is that you and your partner are probably the only two people in the building that are truly impartial and have no vested interest in the game's outcome.
Regarding the spectators, learn to tune them out. I choose to completely ignore them. My focus is on the players and the game.
Coaches are easier. They get a little more attention than the crowd, but not much. When they push the limits I have a 3 step process:
1. "Coach, I hear you"
2. "Coach, that's enough" with visual stop sign
3. whack
