If you think it won't throw gas on a fire, you say, "Coach, they're not doing you any good, I can't see how they'd help me!" Otherwise, you can say, "What I saw was..." and then walk away. Or just laugh and say, "Good one, coach" and walk away. If they're asking for a T, and you can pull off a good calming down move, you gain a LOT of political points. At least, this is what I've seen in other refs. I'm not very good at it yet, myself.
