Did you try any preventative officiating before taking the floor? A couple of sharp tweets of the whistle before you take the floor to assume your duties will let the kids konw that showboat time is over and that they have to stay off of the rim.
I try to avoid looking at the players shooting their layup drills until I have arrived at my position on the floor. If I know that something "may" have happened as i was entering, I will grab a player on that team and tell him to get control over the idiots that are about to get in trouble. It is amazing how quickly they will discipline themselves in this situation and also see that you are here to call the game, not screw their team.
