Last resort thing for me to lasso a couple of wild horses in the post. Like Mick, usually try to talk them down during the play, and if that fails, call one of them.

I find the key sometimes is to call the offensive foul if it's there. A hook, back-in dislodge, lean, whatever disadvantages the defender. If the offensive player doesn't initiate, the defender's less likely to have those "survival instincts" kick in.

Of course, lots of times it's the defender initiating...

Bottom line, if you can't talk 'em down, nail one of 'em. Setting the standard early in the game is key also.
