Most rational people who act an a$$ do so because no one ever calls them out on it. Most rational people who act an a$$, and get confronted about their behavior, are contrite in the aftermath. I have often received apologies from players, coaches, and bench personnel. When they do apologize, my response is always "It's no big deal, I used to do the same thing" or something to that effect.

This approach works for me, not saying it works for everybody.
