One of my regular summer partners and I have gotten into the habit of pre-game meetings with each coach and captain(s) prior to the games. Just 60 seconds of "Good sportsmanship, watch the language, play basketball not soccer," goes a long way towards keeping things in order. You normally get 5 minutes between games anyway, and have to wait for someone to work the table. Any ounce of prevention....
