Many years ago I was working a men's league that one particular coach/manager/player always was having a bad day. He would constantly say things indirectly to irritate you and when you responded he would say things like "Do you have "Rabbit Ears Bule". I learned to ignor him unless he got personal, then I properly applied the penalty accordingly.
One time I worked with a partner that actully wore a small set of Rabbit Ears under his hat hoping this coach would recite his famous question. Lo and behold he did and my partner took off his hat and said, "as a matter of fact I do and your out of here." Funniest thing I ever saw but, true story.
I believe in "preventive officiating" but sometimes, unless you are truly wearing "rabbit ears", don't go there unless you can clearly discern intent.
Just my opinion.
