The difference is, if you want to go with this analogy, the referees aren't Dad. They're the babysitter. So, just as "Because your Dad said so," works for the babysitter, "Because the rule says so" works for the coach.
There isn't time to go into a rules discussion with a coach, even once, let alone the multiple times that will be required once you open that door. If you feel you must say anything, Coltdog's statement should work. If it doesn't, put the ball in play.
There isn't time to have a rules discussion with a coach, let a lone a discussion of why the rules committee made a certain decision. That door should be locked.
