That is something you learn with experience when you need to address it, IMO. I can't concretely say when I do or don't address it, because I don't have particular criteria. However, there are moments when I'll address a comment a coach makes. Most often I will address it by just listening though.
Last night I had a great GV game with a top ranked team in the state and a conference rival. The visiting coach didn't like the unequal proportion of fouls his team earned. I let him have his say and said that we are calling what we see. I added that perhaps his girls were being a little more aggressive on defense than the other team as well. He agreed, end of discussion. I don't make it a habit to explain things like this but sometimes it helps the situation.
So I guess the answer to your question is that you have to feel out the situation and with experience you'll know when you may need to address it or just listen.
