If you've got time, a loud comment to the player, "That wouldn't be smart, 
would it?" can do wonders.  Loud enough for the coach to hear.

If the coach tells the player to do something stupid, and the player 
complies, you card the player.  You're probably going to be dealing with the 
coach immediately thereafter, when he goes ballistic on you.
