Being the good partner that I am, during a time-out I let my partners know of the exchange. You guessed it...like Ron White, he had the right to remain silent, but lacked the ability. Partner corrected his behavior with a TF later in the game.
In an attempt to become all that I can be, what is the appropriate way to tell a coach to shut the heck up?

When in doubt, address the behavior directly without euphenisms. Instead of saying "I've had enough of you officiating the game" (sarcasm) tell him "Coach,
we have heard enough comments".
