You're in a huge minority with that stance and would probably give in hot water with every supervisor and assignor that I know.

Coaches control player, not officials. If someone needs to be pulling a player away from a fight, it's that player's coach.

As long as he enters the floor and doesn't make the situation worse, then he's had a positive influence and shouldn't be penalized.

If the coach is helping to break things up, then he WAS beckoned onto the court -- even if I don't remember doing it.

For that matter, as long as they are not part of the problem, they were beckoned....even if they were just standing there observing ready to help if we need them.

It is interesting to note that the one lady in the white shirt that was breaking up the fight sent the girls away and you see them walking alone away from the floor... So in the end the team either needs to go get them or send an adult to be with them...
