If he truly is being respectful, then he might accept your honesty just fine, "I didn't think it interfered with the play or created an advantage."

You could try, "I'll pay closer attention next time coach, thanks."
Now, if he made the shot then there is an advantage. If he missed it, then did he have anything to do with the rebound? I don't usually allow coaches to chip away (respectfully or not) when a call or a no call that they disagree with was to their advantage. In these cases, I respectfully remind them that the call or no-call was to their benefit.
