I like this approach, and in fact use it quite often. I will typically tell the coach I don't expect him to agree with every decision we make, then go on to tell him what I do expect - an end to the running commentary, the constant "request" for a walk to stop, or whatever the case may be. This tact has been succesful for me more than it hasn't.
In this case however, I think it was too late for that. If I was 99.9% sure the comment came from the coach, at the first opportunity that didn't disadvantage the opponent, I would have stopped play and shown him the door.
