Coach should worry about his job, not your job. I tell them that and will continue to do so.

I also tell the player, "Let it hit." I do that so when I call a violation I can point back to what I said earlier.

I knew of a sorta punky kid back in the 80's who would always tell the official "So what happens after I make it"? when an official said this

I'm willing to bet that smart-azz l'il sh!t hasn't changed one bit either. They never do.

Hopefully, they replied, "Duh, you score a point."

I can't imagine caring about this. I don't say more than the numbers, but it has nothing to do with whether the coach might or might not be upset. Some coaches don't want you telling their players to get out of the lane or keep the "hands off" either.
