Probably not a bad idea, but you'll still get an argument. Any time a whistle sounds and you don't stop play, and one team scores, the other will plead with you that they stopped due to the other whistle.
If I was working one of these games, I probably wouldn't plant that seed in the coaches minds before the game, but would deal with any situations as they came up.
