Say "in past games coach you have been vocal about everything on the floor, it is hard for me to concentrate on all of the action because of this" then asking him the allow you to officiate the game with less talk?

I don't initiate any pre-game communication with the coach other than the pre-game handshake and pointing out illegal equipment. What happened in the past is the past.
