Situations like this seem to happen about every other game and I think are warranted to help with official-coach communication.

And as a coach, we greatly appreciate that! Our "rule" is that if an official explains a call like that, we thank them and absolutely do not try to prolong the conversation or pull the "Yeah, well what about..." crap. A quick explanation gets a quick thank you and away we go. That kind of communication is a wonderful thing for the game.
