Then that's a stupid coach. If the ref is trying to get his help with a kid that's going to hurt his team, I would think most quality coaches are gonna handle that kid.
Generally, if I'm imploring the coaches help, I simply let them know that #?? is not focused. I have never had a coach say anything negative back to me (keep in mind, this is not the first time I've communicated with that coach). I have had coaches who do nothing and then get upset with their player when the other teams coach is choosing his shooter. I try to find ways to have short convos with coaches and also try to find my ally from each team. These players will generally help out when asked.
I agree with those who said one thing will not work everytime, but something will work.
