Getting a coach to laugh (while VERY dangerous) can be good management of a game. During my first year, a particular coach was chirping the entrie first half about everything. My partner and I discussed it at half as we were both ready to pull out the T. Just after the start of the third quarter, my partner is T standing right by the coach when the ball goes OOB. His team is getting ready to inbound when the following exchange occurs;

Coach: "My team isn't litening to me and the two of you are ignoring me, I can't win."
Partner: "Coach, my dad would tell you the same thing he tells me, every communication failure you have has one thing in common."
Coach: "And what would that be?"
Partner: "You"

Coach grins and says "You may be onto something". Rest of the game was pleasant and the coach shut up.
