I do care whether I can explain a call or a no call to a coach. I expect any official to be able to communicate why he did or did not call a foul or violation if the coach approaches us in a professional manner.

If I make a call, I can explain it to a coach; period. I'm only concerned with whether I can explain it to an assigner or evaluator; not the coach. Coaches are easy to explain things to; just use single syllable words and speak slowly.
Someone that knows basketball isn't going to want to hear, "Because it was hard and someone could get hurt." Tell them to play chess. On this play, "she leaned into her" is sufficient to call the foul and all the other stuff is just going to get you into trouble with an evaluator; IMHO, of course.
