Any blanket warning to both teams (again, individually), would be in the vein of diffusing the situation, explaining my decision, and advising them both against any future USC.
But bringing two irate coaches together is a bad idea...

Not necessarily. If you only need to say something once, there should be no confusion and accusations that the umpire didn't say one thing or another. It is only a bad idea if the umpire is incapable of controlling the meeting.
