1) Can't any or all player(s) on the floor on either team, as well as any sub(s) coming in on either team, also make your game go south immediately by committing a stupid foul which could be intentional or flagrant or randomly piss off their opponents? If they do, then what's the difference with them to the "game interrupter" that you identify when subbing in?
2) Do you tell all players on both teams to "watch the fouls" or just the the players that you identify as "game interrupters"? What criteria do you use to identify these "game interrupters" when they enter a game? Appearance? Foaming at the mouth? Knuckles dragging on the floor?
3) If a coach asks you WTF you're doing warning one of his players before that player has done anything at all, what's your response to that coach?
4) Isn't it true that every time you blow your whistle for any foul or any violation, the player that committed that foul or violation is also a "game interrupter"? If you disagree, please explain how they differ.
It's obvious you aint up on all the latest camp-speak, so pay attention. This is important and you'll need to get this down before you have any shot at working the...wait for it...

The term he used is game disrupter, not interrupter.

A game disrupter is something that interrupts the normal flow of the game.

Well, I told you that I wasn't that bright, didn't I?

Soooooo.....I'll go back and edit my last post to change to "game disrupters" from game interrupters".

I'd still like answers to those questions though, just to clear up the confusion in my mind. Think you could help?

Me? yeah.

Game disrupters and game interrupters are any situations that lead to potential badness. Assignors get calls when potential badness turns into real badness.

So we're talking about strategies to minimize the number of calls assignors take from incoherently screaming spittle spewing coaches who think they just got screwed.

My philosophy is to keep calling the game regardless of which end of the bench is on the floor. Each player gets 5 chances to foul, less if the fouls are flagrant. Part of the job is to protect against badness - badness by starters, badness by scrubs, badness by anybody.
