There's a progression I'm fond of for routine situations like this (and for this, let's assume that I'm stuck in front of the coach and can't get out of his pocket).

Ignore - Wave - Warn - Whack

I'll ignore it the first time if it's not over the top. Sometimes a coach engages mouth before brain.

Second time, I'll say something like, "I hear you, John."

Third time, "You've made your point. Move on."

Next time, I'm whacking him. I gave him plenty of chances to move on.
