First of all, any coach out there should know that asking Crooks to split up any conflict is a conflict within itself. For one, I am not the one to work in a politically correct manner. I work in a realistic manner. There are certain situations that just cannot be dealt with "the right way" --- they just have to be dealt with.
Scenario one: two teammates start arguing over playing time. Maybe one player was injured and the other was given the spot and now has a big, inflated ego. Maybe one player spent all summer grinding but the incumbent is in the coaches' good graces and can do no wrong. Knowing that, the latter shuns the former. See, at this point we can't have the beef simmering like this. We need both players to play one-on-one for that spot. But both winner and loser has to shut it after it is all over.
Scenario two: let us say there is a money dispute. Doesn't matter the details, if somebody owes money, they are gonna pay up or we're gonna give them some real reasons to not have the money. Nothing like having your clothes go missing or your called filled with popcorn to get a message across. If someone is accused of stealing, then we gonna have to handle that because we don't do thieves.
Scenario three: romantic rumbles. Usually I stay out of intertwined and extra-marital affairs but I learned that you cant trust someone who will plot and scheme to take your lover from you. Then smile in your face everyday. Like Matt Barnes said of Derek Fisher, "violence isn't the answer but sometimes it is."
