Feedback on coach interaction

[Rufus]

I try not to let coaches get under my skin, question my ethics/integrity, or get away with acting like a child on the sideline (stamping feet, etc.). For the most part I try to ignore them and answer questions they may during the game and leave it at that.

At the camp I attended a couple of weeks ago one line I heard was, I thought, pretty good. If you've already answered a coach's question but he keeps hammering you on the call (or has been chirping for a while I guess) the line they came up was to announce loud enough for your partner(s) to hear "Blue coach is done officiating tonight". The meaning, of course, is the same as a stop sign, but this way everyone knows when/if you T him up that they know why it's happened. Obviously this is something you pre-game.

I used this in a game last night and it worked well (i.e., a chirpy coach kept his mouth shut for the rest of the game), but I'm curious regarding any feedback you all might have on this approach.
