Long ago, I stopped trying to "educate" coaches who constantly complain about calls ("call it both ways", "8 fouls to 2?", etc.)
Cut to the chase and simply ask pointedly "are you insinuating that I'm cheating?"
Most will back off with shock ("no, no...i'm not saying THAT!") and choose their words more carefully.
If not, or they continue to protest...then ring 'em up.
Seems to have worked well for me.
