I should have commented on this earlier, because this is actually what I thought. The communication worked if he was cold to you the rest of the night.
Now, maybe by cold you mean he still chirped and complained but just didn't engage you.
What's most important to remember is that no coach is the same. Neither are any of us. Each of us will have a style of communication that works for us, and each coach will have a different approach to interacting with officials. If the worse thing that happens is that after you approach a coach to communicate about a call is that he goes ice cold on you the rest of the night, I'd keep doing what you're doing.
