The comments so irritating this year; "call it both ways", "three seconds in the key", "they are playing rough on my guys" and "you got to help your partner". I do not believe you should ignore the head coach especially if your pregame included giving coach/captain the opportunity to address us on a dead ball or time-out to discuss or present a question.
Looking at him and nodding your head often shows him you have acknowledged his comment. "OK, Coach, I heard you." Keep it as simple as possible.
