GV game: Ready to administer free throw, B1 and A2 next to each other in lane spaces, doing the "my arm on top of your arm, then your arm on top of my arm" thing. I step towards them and smiling, say, " Hey, knock off the sword fighting!" Everybody laughs, and there's no more problem.
BV game, similar antics, I step to the 2 players involved, and say just loudly enough so they can hear me, " You guys know, that what you're doing is the same as stepping in early." I smile, and shrug my shoulders. No more problem. Sometimes, it's the words we choose, and the way we deliver the message.

"Will you guys stop playing patty cake with each other?"
Usually that gets the message and they stop excessiveness. Peace

This is my preferred method, in either order. The staring tends to work pretty well.
