I am going to disagree with you unless the "CC" is the calling official.
let the calling official make the explaination as to why the call was changed, - First because he changed the call. If that process begins to drag out or get ugly then the "CC" or "R" steps in and extracates the official and gets the game going.
Second because if the "CC" or "R" steps in and explains what is going on it can give the impression that the calling official is weaker, (especially if the "CC" or "R" is the one that offered the information).
Third it may not be necessary the coach may just ask the question and accept it - he may not be happy but they accept it - if you send in the "R" or "CC" you may be playing a card you do not need to too early in the game.

It is important to project strength as a crew and part of that is not having to "send in the big Referee to clean up after his little umpires"!
