Bringing the coach to you helps establish some level of control and bringing whatever follows back to the sideline eliminates further antics "on the field".

That only works if he is yelling at the wing and if I am the Referee (WH) in this situation, I am not giving and explanation in the middle of the game about an illegal formation. And all of that would also only work when you are done doing your responsibilities as a wing. It is possible the wing did not have time to explain anything to them. Coaches have to be smarter. It is not our job to control their behavior. They control their own behavior.
