I've had situation #2 -- and handled it just like JetMetFan said. Coach told the players to knock it off. No one else said anything.

I usually will tell the players on the bench that they are soft if they think that play was an "And 1". That usually works as the kids laugh. If it continues I will address the HC and 99% of the time they will tell their players to knock it off. ....

I would not address the players on the bench. Always let the head coach know to get control of things.

If I have any issue with bench personnel, player or coaches, I tell the coach to get them in order. That's usually a sign that the next time its going to cost them 2 FT's, and 100% of the time they self police it.
