Yes I will tell a coach who had a better look at the play, whether it is me or my partners and to ask the appropriate official. If a coach thinks we missed a call and I was the "calling official" I will answer his question in a direct way if the coach is being reasonable. For example if a coach wants a GT for just slapping the backboard, then I will address that with what the rule is or explain you cannot have GT for slapping the backboard. It makes no sense for you to explain something you did not see or that you have no responsibility for. The coach should talk to the right official or they should not be complaining. Now if you have dual coverage, I might say that my partner and I had a good look at the play and either passed or I had the same thing that my partner had. Usually when two officials see the same thing, it is really hard for them to continue to complain with credibility. This is why double whistles can save crews on tough calls.

Peace
