This is a little too smart-@$$ for my personality. I would've said pretty much what Tweet said. "Coach, we're gonna call what's in front of us. Good luck."

If I wanted to make the point more forcefully, I might've said, "Coach, we wouldn't cheat for the other team, so we can't cheat for you either."
Actually, I would have done in a way that it would have been a joke. I have a great relationship with the coaches in our area, so they would have known I was joking.
Me too. Make a joke out of it. Stick out your hand and tell him the pregame fee is $20 per call, it will only go up as he falls behind. Laugh as you say it. Make sure he knows you think he was joking too. He'll get the idea, and you won't come off like you have a 8' length of rebar up your...well, you get the idea.
