I personally dealt with this issue once by calling the GM over and telling him that if I heard it one more time the press box would be empty for the rest of the night. Amazingly, we never heard it again for the rest of the series.

Exactly, let someone else take care of your dirty work. No different than "Coach I need to go over your lineup here. Please take care of such and such or an assitant."
I was once in a fairly heated discussion with a coach when a parent came up to the fence and told the coach to punch me out. After our discussion I asked the coach to take care of him for me and he said "glady." I have Never seen that person since.
