The coach is making a personal attack when they start this nonsense. They are either accusing you of complete incompetence or cheating...

How is stating a fact the same as accusing you of cheating?

It also falls under 10-4-1-B attempting to influence an official's decision.
If it has standing or gesturing along with the statement add article E.
If it is loud enough so the crowd picks it up, throw in article F.

Influencing an officials decision? So the next time a ball is knocked out of bounds and you have 7 kids pointing as to which way the ball should go, is that 7 T's? They were trying to influence the official into giving them the ball. . . . Just about every comment ever made by a coach, even the respectfully made ones, are in attempt to influence the decisions of the officials. . . . its tough to use that as a reasoning as it happens all the time.

And we complain about why sportsmanship is so bad.
#1 the coach IS attacking your credibility and integrity with the foul count comment.
#2 why would they point this out, if not to attempt to influence how you are calling the game?
#3 if they are standing up in gesturing they are not using the coaches box within the rules.
#4 if they are doing so loudly, they are bringing the crowd into the situation.
You may really need to look at 10-4 again.
What you allow you promote.
