JRut,
I say pick your spots with this one. Some coaches will calm down if you approach them calmly, but if they are whining and complaining prior to you addressing them, they are probably going to whine when you address them and continue after you answer their "question". Keep the game flowing. As you have been doing this longer than I have, I'm sure you know this already.
If the play is an 'obvious call' play, most of the coaches film the games anyway, let 'em watch it again later. They'll see it. Otherwise, let them soak in their own mental misery, and continue to handle your game. If they get out of line, use one of the tools available to you to put them back in line.
