I once told a coach "I don't count them, I just call them".
When responding to coaches we shoud always be professional -- no smart ass remarks (the above was a weak moment). Just answer a question or, as suggested earlier, something along the lines of "I've heard enough coach" is as far as I go. After that I usually issue "your 1 and only warning coach" and then its a T the next time he crosses the line.
I tend to be less patient than many of my colleagues but I nip it in the bud quick. They will only push you as far as you will let them. Questions are fine, harmless comments are ignored, and everything else gets them more of my attention than they wanted. You'll be surprised at how different they will act the next time you work one of their games if you do this.
