Agreed. But don't end the conversation asking for more conversation. If you ask for questions, you can get a thousand of them. If you have been clear and consise in this sitch to wit:
"Coaches, we do not have foul lines our calls stands with no tolerance for questioning. (insert the remainder of your pre-game)."
"(wrapping up)" ....Coaches, are you ready to play? (here they have a full opportunity to ask whatever they want).....pause... "Let's play, best of luck to both of you!"
Keep it simple.
