Agree, ultimatums are bad.
Also, rather than direct/command/order, ask for the opposite. In this case, "coach would you come over here" instead of "don't go there" might be better. Followed immediatley of course, with advice about not showing up an umpire and nothing to be gained by being more demonstrative.
