Talk to them when the situation allows in a calm, understanding voice first. Whether you choose to stop the game or not depends upon the situation.
"I understand coach"
"I'll look at it coach"
"That is what I saw coach"
"OK coach"
These things can be used on a coach that deserves it or to make an attempt to calm a coach. This is of course if you are discussing one of your calls. I don't believe in consoling a coach for something one of my partners called. That just isn't right to me. If a coach is beginning to go too far I will try to ignore it and weather the storm until it either goes away or goes to far.
IMO your communication with coaches and players should have highs and lows just like everyday situations. Too much of one or the other can become an irritant.
