I wouldn't sink down to the coach's level - simply tell him that the side of the backboard, BY RULE, is in play and therefore no whistle. Just simply state it and let it go. Although difficult to do (let's face it we all want a little dig every now and then), let the coach figure out he's the knucklehead - has a bigger impact when he discovers the fact rather than you telling him.
Love it when the coach yells out the 3 second lane count - simply tell him BY RULE the count resets on the shot attempt; quiets 'em down every time. Take the confrontation out and avoid "one upping" and you'll usually get the coach off your back for the rest of the night.
