Tell a teammate/coach/captain to get him to stop, they might have replaced him on the lane. Tell the player "don't cost your team in this situation." We'll never know, but I would think there is a better alternative in this situation.

What exactly is your better alternative then precisely?
You don't have any rules backing to make either of those playes actually be replaced on the lane. Please tell me that you really aren't gonna stop the game and go over and ask a coach or a captain to handle something that is
your responsibility from the git-go.
"Please, Coach, make him stop doing that" Lah me. What are you gonna do if the teammates/coaches/captains ignore your pleas, like the 2 players that keep switching positions?
To be quite honest,I can't think of another way to handle this other than what DeeCee did. If the players are blatantly ignoring your explicit instructions- especially twice, then it's on them- not you. I'm all for preventive officiating, but I really need help on this one as to what else you do when your preventive officiating fails. What other alternative do you have except a "T"?
That "T" is preventive officiating imo. It should make those clowns think about challenging you or ignoring you in the future.
