And when the coach continues to complain, I simply tell him, "Sorry coach. We did the best we could. But I promise that you'll get two, out of the next three, alternating possessions."

I have to ask. Has this ever worked? If I was a coach, I'd view this as extremely condescending and rude; and would be pi$sed off even more. Not that I worry about making coaches angry when I make my calls, but I see no reason to add fuel to the fire when engaging them.
