If we enforced that rule like we do, say, the fighting rule, it would never be an issue.

I know your point, coaches are out of hand, but your analogy is a little out of sync with reality.
You are the official, a player travels and #23 who is playing defense looks at you, gives the traveling signal and says "that's a travel".
You go to the other end of the floor and #23 gives his opponent a haymaker to the jaw - and a brawl ensues.
So as an official we are to officiate both the same way?
But, as a whole I know what you are talking about - had 5 T's in our divisional final last weekend - players and coaches completely out of control
The only way it will be controlled is when officials do not pander to the coaches.
