I warned her 2 or 3 times and my partner warned her 2 or 3 times to get off the floor.
My primary objective, IMO, is to ensure the safety of the players first. I lump myself and coaches in that category. What if I blew a knee or knocked her cold because she was there and I didn't see her? If I run outside the lines then I need to watch where I am going, but if I am in the lines and I see 10 players, there should be no one in my line. Not to memton that I missed the call on the break because I was sprawled by the bench.
Granted, I did this few years ago and I might think better of it now, but the fact remains, we gave her ample notice to stay off the floor and not interfere with the game.
