And that's exactly why we shouldn't be making comments like this imo. You're inviting a response like that one, a response you might then have to deal with.

Stick to short, neutral statements like "that's enough" if you want to give a warning. Put the onus where it belongs.

Wifey got away with one today:
"If you quit doing the 'alligator chomp' with your with your arms, you MIGHT notice the body contact AND know who the ball went out on! I don't care if it was blocked up top, its the block to my shooters body I am worried about"
Thankfully I had a towel I could bury my face into so no one would see me laughing! I was just waiting for the whistle to blow for the "T" and it never came!

Later in the game the referee asked her for a towel to clean up some water by the other bench. She said "With all those crocodile tears she's been crying all game I am suprised there isn't a flood down there!" (She is BFF"s with that coach, so there was some good natured ribbing going on)
