Rocky, while that worked for you this weekend, wouldn't you say that answering comments - no matter the answer - could end the wrong way? It has been said many times, by some of the "big dogs", that silence cannot be quoted - answer questions and not comments.
Having said that, your example of using "Thank you" fit what the coach said. It isn't like the coach said, "How can the fouls be 8 to 3?" and you said, "Thank you." While I don't necessarily endorse answering comments, you use is understandable. Saying "Thank you" repeatedly, for questions that don't fit that as an answer, could quickly become an irritant. Without (hopefully) using any absolutes, would you agree?
