Stop sign works for some. I'm not convinced that showing the coach your hand is going to work if he already thinks you're new. For me, a quick and quiet word works better.

"Coach, this (whatever it is) is not going to continue tonight." If you want to be blunt, "Coach, I get the impression that you think this is my first game." Or "Coach, I'm not one of your players, so you really don't get to coach me today."

Sometimes, the only thing that works is a T if he's pushing your limits to see what you'll take. Pull the trigger.
