My advice would be to never do this again.

Older, basically 16 and up. Anything in which the dugout is far enough away that I would have to raise my voice for their dugout to hear me give a warning.

With players of that age:

If they are doing something worth correcting, correct it. If they have not reached the threshold deserving of your attention, ignore them. Either way, don't whine to a coach about his players doing something you don't like.

Handle it yourself, if it needs to be handled. Otherwise, walk away.
