With eye contact, and a hand on my chest, slowly, "Coach... we got this."

Used this one yesterday. Coach A wanted three seconds on his opposition on B. (Second half, so opposite end.) It wasn't the first time. As the T (2 man), I paused a second to make sure B-1 wasn't leaving the lane, and I got that call, then gave my look and line to Coach A.

His reply, "Oh, I wasn't talking to you. I was letting my kids know they're in the lane too long."
