I am a staunch proponent of doing our job. Blow the whistle and its up the teams to adjust OR foul out.
10 years (and knock on wood) 0 ejections, 0 incidents. Plenty of T's though but train wrecks in our game dont just happen. You can see them coming a mile away and as a good official you should be aware of the health of the game you are doing and when needed corrective measures should be taken to avoid flare ups. Either a quick chat to potential problem players, maybe some quick fouls to ease the tension, double fouls. Send the message that you are there and you will deal with things that need to be dealt with in the swiftest severest action.
Or just call a coach a candypants and get eveyones mind off the game as they watch you and the coach throw down.
