This is questioning my integrity/ability and will get a "T" every time

"Seriously, that call was atrocious."
Not a fan of the comment, but the coach's problem is with the call not me, I may tell him to knock it off but it's not an automatic "T"

"Do you have a problem with me?"
I'm just ignoring this 100%, nothing good can come from the conversation, but he hasn't crossed a line yet.

"What is your problem?"
Same as above.

"You're doing a great job, but your partner is awful."
This is an easy "T", he is trying to get between you and your partner, this is not acceptable under any circumstances.

"It's tough playing 8 on 5."
"T" minimum, possible ejection, this is a direct accusation of cheating, saying the baseball equivalent of "11 on 9" will get you run 100% of the time.

"Blow your whistle for crying out loud!"
This is probably nothing, however I may be inclined to say "Sure coach, here is your 'T' as requested" but only if I have herd enough from the coach

If find that if I am going to throw a coach out in baseball I should at least be giving them a "T" in basketball. In baseball there are some very well defined boundaries, mainly saying you can ask a legitimate question but attacking integrity is an automatic ejection.
