1. "What kind of call was that?"
2. "You've got to be kidding me!"
3. "C'mon ref, you have to call it both ways!"
4. "1, 2, 3" (counting 3 seconds for you)
5. "Oh! That wasn't a foul!"
I know that some comments are more neutral, like when coaches point out violations, like calling out traveling or double dribbles, but I was wondering about if these are ever acceptable.

I would comment to 3 if I was near him. I would take care of 4 at the next deadball or if I was near him.
For the most part I would initially ignore these comments but don't allow him to %*$(@ the whole game. Tell them to shutup and don't put up with it. I know in rec ball I have a low tolerance for these types of coaches and I have seen many officials take way to much chirping from the coaches at this level. Just my opinion.
