Coach just about to get running clocked: Can't believe it (of course, he wasn't looking off-ball either).
Me, reporting: "White foul, twenty-two, team control, red ball OOB."
Coach: Who's been chippy all night, but nothing to merit any warning or anything; "How can you call that???"
Me: "Coach, did you have a better look at that one?" (Of course, he didn't).
Coach: "No, but I've had a good look at all the other calls you've made tonight, and I'm going straight to my computer after this game and give you the rating you deserve."
Me: "..........................."

And my partners and this guy's AD all thought we did a very good game.
Next time, just a blank look will have to suffice.

I never saw this before either, but since it follows "fixed that for you" I'm guessing it means "no charge."

While the coaches response is certainly worthy of a T, am I the only one in thinking that depending on tone this is a line we should avoid using?

Yes, it is something we should avoid saying. IMO, that is not practicing good conflict resolution.
