Personally, I never explain a T. Usually, that's b/c it's obvious why I called it. If it's not obvious, and the coach sincerely asks "What'd he do/say?!?" I simply reply, "Ask him, Coach". That way I don't get into a debate with the coach, and the kid has to 'fess up to what he said to me.
Just my personal approach

I like this approach as well. It is more likely to make the kid accountable for his actions.

So the kid says I dunno coach, i was just standing there and she is now accountable? If I can't tell why you Td my player because something happened out of view/earshot, I will be quite upset if you refuse to give the reason. I will hold the kid accountable and probably ask them what they got Td for a well, even if I know. I make them fess up. But it's harder to do that and know that thye know what they did wrong without my knowing what your call really was.
If it was profanity, I am not asking you to give me an exact quote, just let me know the player used profanity and get on with it. But I find it arrogant to refuse to communicate with me if I ask you in a non-threatening manner for clarification as to what you called - T or otherwise. I'll give you respect, but I deserve a little bit, too.
