If I think he's full of crap I'll just smile, tell him sure thing, thanks.
If it's something I've been letting go I'll tell him everyone's doing it (that's why I've been letting it go of course).

I have to disagree with you on that statement. Some coaches, not many are just trying to coach. There are team that do try to use every trick in the book to get an advantage. I always tell the coach, I will keep an eye out of it.

What don't you agree with? My first statement is the same as yours (OK coach, thanks = I'll keep an eye out for it).
If you mean this:

Why would you tell a coach you'll "keep an eye out for it" when you've already seen it happen & passed on it and know you'll likely see it again soon and pass on it again? Although I think the term is over used, this type of thing will destroy your credibility IMO.

I'll play coach/devils advocate here. You say, " I saw what your talking about coach and everyone on the floor is doing it." Coach says, "is it not a foul/violation no matter who does it." UHHH...

While it's not something I'm likely to say often I can't remember the last time I said "everyone's doing it" and the coach didn't smile back & say "yeah...I know...". That's because when I say "everyone's doing it" I know EVERYONE is doing it, and so does the coach. Also because I'm such a f@cking joy to work with.
If the coach decides he needs to debate me on the topic, well, I don't know about you but I don't debate coaches.
