I don't remember them hollering anymore.

I love that one! It's priceless! It's humorous, and it lightens the moment. If the coach can't handle a little humor, tough. Oh, and nobody ignoring a violation, you're screaming at me and it threw my count off, and btw, thanks for telling the player to get out of the lane for me.
Seriously, I don't even address a coach for screaming 3 seconds, 5 seconds, whatever. I would only address the coach on something like this, if after the play has gone the other way, and he/she is still complaining about it, I come back down from the other end, and still complaining, TECHNICAL FOUL! Constant complaining....That kind of cleans it up too, imo!
