I was taught and believe in avoiding ultimatums or threats. Better to use statements like "that's enough", "no more, coach", "you must stop that", or "that's nearly dissent" or ... . Also, avoid using "I", which makes it personal rather than violating rules or the game.

p.s. I think "knock it off" and yelling across the field are inflammatory.
