Can a coach ask for an explanantion? Sure. If he stays out there and keeps arguing, well...

According to the MLBUM (and maybe PBUC, I forget), the calling umpire is to indicate (I think by slapping his leg) that it was a "no step" balk.
So, the coach already has his explanation. There's no need to come out.
