When I hear that from anyone participating in the game, I issue a warning, saying "Coach, that comment means that you think I am giving the other team something I am not giving you. You are questioning my integrity. I may miss a call, but you will NOT question my integrity as an umpire!"
I have never had to eject a coach for repeating the comment. And most coaches in my area remember not to use that phrase in future games.
The "Call it both ways" comment is an immediate ticket to the showers in my games! I give no warning for calling me a cheater and I have ejected several coaches over the years. Come to think of it, they were all in AAU games!

Never had those comments in HS games or any of my adult games. Must be an AAU thing.
