Just don't do what I witnessed 3 weeks ago. "That's enough, coach." Coach continues. "Coach, I said that's enough." More. "Coach, one more word and you're gone." More. "Coach, I said one more word and your gone."
"That's enough" means that's enough. No more. Warn and don't punish when the warning is not heeded, and you no longer have any teeth to your warnings.

I learned a long time ago never to use the phrase "One more word, and you're gone." Why? What if, after you say that, he says "I'm sorry." Now what are you going to do...he said another word. You've just backed yourself into a corner.
