Ace,
Here are two things I noticed that might help you.

The vast majority of officials only use the colors which are monosyllabic. Therefore, you should be telling "Blue" to break their huddle.

This is a fundamental problem in your thought process as an official which you must change.
What actually made your game hell was that you continued to warn the coach instead of simply giving an appropriate T.
I believe this is a common misconception among many newer officials. They believe that a T will make a bad situation worse, when, in fact, it will often settle things down. My experience has been that used properly the technical foul is a necessary tool for establishing or maintaining control. Far too many officials are simply afraid of using it.
