Let the coach have his say and IMO give it back to him.

"Hey skip I might be having a bad day but not as bad as yours is going to get when Mr / Mrs Jones confronts you about not giving their son playing time when his replacement has already committed 3 errors and K'd twice"

Also, break up the moment with a little humor. On his next time by say "Skip have a lifesaver" it does wonders.

Also, do what we do best - Simply tune it out.
