I had one of these coaches Tuesday night as well, and after the same comment 3 or 4 trips up the floor, I just politely said "Coach, Please coach your players, and we will referee the game" He got the hint and did a nice job from then on.
I have heard one line used that was funny, but I would never use it because I don't find it to be very professional. "Coach, if you and I are both officiating, Who is coaching your team?"
