Depends. I will want the coach to tell me about something he thinks I missed (e.g. pulled foot) and not just complain about the call. If he tells me he saw something that I missed, even if based on my view of the play I'm sure of the call, I'll tend to give him the respect he deserves. I look at it as good game management.

Since Tom quoted me, I'll return the favor. I too want the coach to tell me something specific that he thinks I did not see - such as the hand not getting back or a dropped ball. And then I will check with my partner every time, looking for that specific piece of information that the coach detailed for me. If my partner does supply me with different info than I saw, I will change the call
The approach of "Coach, that's my call, I hustled into the best position possble, ..." That's the baseball approach for some levels. When I work those games, I do things their way.
