The phrase that I was taught to use when the coach is whining about traveling, fouls, etc., is:

"Coach, I hear you."

This sends two messages:

a) I'm not ignoring you and I hear what you are saying.
b) I don't want to hear any more.

Just make sure you are ready to back it up if the coach chooses not to stop.
