I imagine this play somewhat resembles this: http://i.giphy.com/TIKf43cN5FTYQ.gif All sorts of bad stuff, with ejections at the end.

Can I continue this train of thought with a game management question? Would it be appropriate to bring both head coaches together and explain that the ejections will continue until morale sportsmanship improves? I might also warn the offensive HC that should his team pull another stunt like that, he'll be following his players to the parking lot. Not that he would need the warning, but for the benefit of the defensive coach seeing that we are being proactive about an obvious unsportsmanlike play.

Or does bringing the coaches together for a private, stern chat run the risk of escalating the situation by getting them within arm's length of one another?
