Chess,
Personally, some nights I can take more comments from a coach than on other nights. My gauge is that when what they are saying begins to bother me, I put a stop to it. Don't miss a call on the other end of the court because of some comment he made to you continues to naw at you. Also, don't let someone else set this threshhold for you and it doesn't necessarily have to be the same every night. On those nights I simply say "Coach, I've had enough" - stop sign for him and my partners. Then, on the next comment, call your T just like any other foul call. Do not go home stewing that you wished you had taken care of business. Do it before it starts to grind at you. Your games, your calls will get a lot better.
Coaches are not stupid - they will begin to understand when you have reached your threshhold if you are consistent with the T after you have given your stop sign.
Try it.
