I have only had this become a problem once...and it was a rec league game (11th grade boys). I broke them up twice when I was ready. When, at the next dead ball, the coach said "That lane meeting is team building...I encourage it." I told him by rule is was not allowed and they needed to keep it short. Next FT they did it again and when I was ready they weren't. I had the book record a delay warning. Coach went nuts and I T'd him. When he asked "What was that for?" I said "I explained the huddle situation, you made a choice." Problem went away and every time I had that team after that the only huddle was only a second or two long.
I believe in picking my battles but I explained the rule and offered to "look the other way" if they kept it very short. Oh well...life is about the choices we make and the consequence that result.
