We are only discussing what words you use and don't use, and what you bring into the conversation. I know refs can shut coaches up without ever mentioning themselves. Mission accomplished.
Well, as I said I don't know the context since I haven't been following this thread. But I will admit I have asked this question ("Coach, you're not saying I'm cheating, are you?") in a semi-joking manner. I no longer do this because one fine day the answer will be "Damn right I think you're cheating!" or even worse "Nah, I just think you're doing a sh!tty job". And as you say this does not accomplish my mission and worse I have carried my opponent's ammunition for him.
