I agree with firedoc's philosophy on this one. If he (or she) crosses the line you gotta' ding him.
A few weeks ago I was working a higher level HS Varsity Girls game. The visiting coach (volatile reputation) was good the entire first half, even though he was down 2 to 1. Towards the end of the third quarter I have an off-ball foul on the home team (A) under the basket. Coach B jumps up, runs 10 ft. out of the box onto the floor, screaming and waiving his arms telling me that I have to catch that pushing under the basket. WHACK!!
I report the pushing foul on A1 and the "T" on Coach B. I then turn and say to him, "Remember Coach, you now have the Seat-Belt rule". He nods and quietly says to me with a grin "I know, thanks". He was great the rest of the game, although his team still played like crap (Can I say that here?)
