Not only would I, but I did once.
One coach was very late getting to the gym, the opposing coach made a snide comment about it at some point late in the first quarter, and then they were just back and forth with each other for the next 2-3 minutes. It was a quiet gym, so everyone in the stands could see and hear it. Quite embarrassing for everyone, including the players. After a staredown or two, I finally had enough. Ball was being advanced in the backcourt, they were being chippy again, and I whacked 'em both.
The weird thing was they both seemed to appreciate it because it gave them an excuse to shut up. Seat belt was fastened, add one team foul to both sides, and just inbound the ball at the POI. One of them said, "that's cool, as long as it doesn't affect the kids."
It was quite effective, it fit, and was very defendable. A tool in your toolkit if you ever need it.
