It all depends on your tone of voice. I've softly and firmly told coaches to "calm down" and it's worked fine.

Well tonight I had a coach that did nothing but complain. I had to address it several times because every play was an argument. When he did not shut up, I told him very clearly he needed to "knock it off." He tried to sulk a little but he eventually got the message and did nothing in the second half. He won the game and yes people saw the exchange. But I won because I was able to have my crew call the game and he was sitting and shutting up. We are grown men here and if you want to act like a child I will treat you like one. It is that simple to me and works for me as well.
