As to the OP, it sounds like you let it get out of hand. General rule of thumb. Don't respond to comments unless you need to fix a behavior. I would have t'd that coach at halftime, in the hallway.

I just tell them, "Stop fouling" and leave it at that. If they want to be a smart ass, I can be one too. And that is actually a good way to make the point you do not care and not your job. At some point we have to stop worrying about how coaches take everything. If they want the foul count to be different, they are going to have to find another scapegoat.
