Most the pro guys I know would say back to you something about it don't matter so just blow the damn whistle. I would only address the play if the player brings it up.

Perhaps... just like communication with the coaches (at any level) you gotta know who you're dealing with. Being my 3rd yr in the league, I know who I can/can't say those types of things to.
As a matter of fact, comments like that (to certain players/coaches) helps the game in some instances! Sometimes it diffuses the pushback when you feel it coming on.
Acknowledging non-verbal concerns of players/coaches is not ALWAYS a bad thing. Why not resolve the situation before it blows up? Another part of GM skills.
I guess one would have to have a "feel" for the game to do those types of things successfully
