I tried this in a game the other day:
Coach: The foul count is 6 to 1. Can you watch the other team?
Ref: OK coach. Where do you think the are fouls happening?
Coach: (Slight Pause) Watch the hand checks on my guards.
Ref: OK coach, I will watch for hand checks.
The funny thing was, he had to stop and think about where
the fouls were. That let me know he was just whining about the count.
