I really like Nevada's explanation and thoroughness, and I'll boil it down to enforce the rules, because they are the rules regardless of whethe a coach agrees. All we then have to do is determine what is trifling, e.g., a player moving into the tech area when the ball goes dead is there for that sub opp as far as I'm concerned; especially if it is the enabling team.
I will however give one warning about players out of the team area on fields which are not spaced correctly or have minimal space; especially if it is the visitor who have no control over the layout.
