Lotto,
You are on the right trail...a proactive approach usually seems to work best for me. I try the professional approach and say, "Coach, I know I will work a lot better if you are coaching your team instead of officiating. Now, let's both do our jobs and we will get along great."
You have been courteous, professional, and even given them a warning. After that, the choice is theirs. Of course, you must be willing to hand out the "T" if they choose not to participate in your plan.
