Don't be afraid to deal with the coach early for the yapping. I think this is the most difficult part of "game management." Nothing he says deserves a T by itself, but ABS eventually gets him there. Best thing I've ever done is take a moment to talk quietly to him and let him know, politely, that he won't be able to continue the chirping. Something along the lines of, "Coach, if I get a chance I'll answer a question now and then, but I can't have you questioning every call."
See what works. Again, I've found this is the hardest coach to be proactive with, because you're thinking he's not really going over the top. The problem is coaches like this always have players just like them.
