Best thing to do: Retract your rabbit ears and stay focused.

When a coach says something that implies the officials are less than balanced loud enough for the crowd to hear, it's hardly "rabbit ears." If he says it quietly enough the crowd can't hear him, I can't either unless I'm in his lap. If I am, I'll simply say something like "well then, tell your kids to quit fouling" and then get out of his lap right afterwards.

"Rabbit ears" is what I call "rat-speak" in the baseball world. It's a phrase a coach uses when he wants to embarrass or yell at an official but doesn't want the official to make him pay the consequences.

How about, instead, warning the coach that he's not going to get away with accusing the officials of being less than balanced. If he brings it up again, serve him some tea and crumpets.
