Got a huge response from the audience. Feel free to borrow.

Oh, one of my other classics was, "You gotta get better, Blue!" "You think this is bad, you should have seen my last game." with a Groucho Marx cigar flare. (But that was to a parent sitting behind home plate, not a coach) Not as good as the first one IMO, but effective none the less.
Excellent. Must work well for you. I prefer reason!

I use reason with the Coach. I listen to him carefully, I attempt reason once again! If he persists in being unreasonable, I remind him that I would not care to, but I shall, use the reasonable rules invested in me to disallow any further participation in the game by him.

You see, reason rules...or the coach must be extricated!
