I would never apologize for what I was required to do. That's a mistake. Don't condone his actions by telling him you don't like the procedure either.

I agree.
If I detected humor in the coach's answer I would play along "Hey coach, I might get 1 or 2 right today, who knows? But you still need to show good sportsmanship. We agree, right?".
If I thought he was being even the slightest bit confrontational then he would get a quick and certain training session on the nature of our relationship.
And if the question and a yes answer is
required then the coaches should all expect it. So no, it's not confrontational.
