After the first one, I woulda stopped the game, walked over to the coach and quietly(just so that the two of us could hear) said something like "Coach, you're trying to disconcert the shooter. Please desist. I'm not gonna allow you to do that". Then I'm gonna turn my back and walk away- no arguments, no discussions, no questions answered. If the coach did it again on a missed FT, I would call a disconcertion violation. I wouldn't think of "T"ing the coach up right away- only if s/he persisted in trying to disconcert a FT shooter after having been warned not too. Most coachs do something like this because they don't have a clue what the appropriate rule is. Once they find out, they're usually smart enough to drop that little game.
Others may have different or better ways to handle that situation. Whatever works for you is fine- as long as you don't let the coach get away with something like this. Jmo.
