You begin to sound defensive, as though integrity should be an issue. You also may leave the impression that you have been personally insulted, so that from here forward your impartiality may be subject to question.
Ignore it, if that doesn't work, let him know you have heard enough (no T warning - just a stop sign and I've heard enough coach), and if he persist, the T.

If you do not want us to react to that statement, do not make that statement. Because what the foul count, has nothing to do with the game. Unless you are trying to suggest that we are cheating, because we called more fouls on your team instead of the other team. It might sound defensive, but it is a way to give the coach an out. Because if you do question my integrity, I am going to T you for sure. I agree you do not want to challenge coaches as a regular practice, but sometimes a line needs to be drawn in the sand. Because if you want to tell me what the foul count is (probably something we already know to begin with), then you open yourself up for a response.
Peace
