I don't think much of a reply is warranted. Certainly there is no reason to up the hostility level by bringing your integrity into the discussion. You begin to sound defensive, as though integrity should be an issue. You also may leave the impression that you have been personally insulted, so that from here forward your impartiality may be subject to question.
Ignore it, if that doesn't work, let him know you have heard enough (no T warning - just a stop sign and I've heard enough coach), and if he persist, the T.
