In addition to a lot of good suggestions in this thread, I've also used, "Coach, I've heard you. It's probably best that we're done with this topic."

Seems to get a better response for me than "That's enough."

In My Dreams ...
"Coach. Shut up and leave us alone". Wait a minute? Did I say that out loud?

Coaches should be seen and not heard.

I am NOT the worst referee in the world..... (point to your partner) HE IS!

Two words...breath mint.....

Coach your team sucks but at least your cheerleaders are hot!

Coach has your ear and usually a call was made by another official. "Coach, what did you see?" Shows your listening, and he has a brief sounding board.

Allows them to a quick vent.
Fullor30, I was at Camp in Tulsa when Tom O Neil talked too. Great camp and All of the Officials were Quality. Great experience......

I've used "I'll try to get some different angles." That is a variant of "I'll watch for it."

Had a game last week where the arrow had not switched and the start of the 4th qtr had the same team taking the ball out. He asked about it & I checked with the table and there had not been any held balls in the 3rd qtr. [And don't chime in with the whistle in the pocket trick, please]. Turned out he was right. As the C, with my back to him, I simply said, "Thanks, coach." I think he felt good that he was listened to when he voiced his concern in a calm manner. Which was out of character for him.

That's called positive reinforcement.

Yep, it works great with children, monkeys, puppies, and sometimes even parents.

Cats, on the other hand....

Cats have no issue using positive reinforcement on us.

And it works on some of us. The rest prefer BBQ sauce.

This doesn't work for everything, but, coaches often voice their concerns with
"That should have been......." If a coach says this to me, in a reasonable voice, when I happen to be stopped in front of him, I often say, "You could be right."
