I've used this one once... it kind of worked. I'll explain.
It was about we were about a minute and a half into the game, and the bench from a team who I've seen several times over the years is giving us grief already. We get to a dead ball when I am next to the HC, and I say, "Coach, I've heard enough from the peanut gallery." He didn't take offense to it, but the assistant did!
We get to a timeout (I'm stationed in front of their bench), and the assistant came out (politely) and said, "Peanut gallery, really? I think we deserve a little more respect than that." I responded with, "Coach, you were giving us the what-for a minute into the game. I think we deserve a little more respect than what we were getting." It's like a light bulb went off over his head, and he was a saint there on out!
