Some are for it, some are against it, few are stupid enough to try to explain that to a coach. Silence can't be misquoted.

This is exactly right. You may or may not like it, but it's the expected call in some areas. Frankly, in this situation, I'd make a note of it and change the way I go about it. Around here, I have explained this to coaches (it's the expected practice) and they understand it. I've never had one question it after the explanation.
In this case, I'd simply stop doing it and start calling the fouls. I might even be inclined to change the initial call to a foul on B1 (assuming I remembered B1's number).
