Crew Disharmony
I had that same problem this past weekend. I knew going into the game that this particular official would have something to say on just about every play. I believe one way of handling an official like this is to get him aside privately and tell him that you apprieciate him trying to help you be a better official (grin) but that he should save his comments for half time or better yet after the game. Then he should pick out one or two things that he would like to discuss. If that doesn't work then just tell him to shutup and concern himself with his area of the field. By the way the first part of this advise didn't work for this particular official and I had to finally tell him to take care of his side of the field and I would take care of mine. After that he left me alone.
