How do you respond to coach who is right but an a** about it?

Some years ago, as 'Lynn' was walking up the court past the visitor bench after a change of possession, the visiting coach was giving him an enthusiastic earful about a call he thought had been missed. Lynn looked at him, smiled, and said, "You're probably right." Cracked me up, and it seemed to work with that coach. He calmed down a bunch. I don't know that every official could get away with it, but Lynn has lots of experience, and is always calm and friendly.
