As grunewar said "it depends on the official". It was annoying to that particular referee and that's all that matters. And btw it certainly looks to the crowd that you're telling that official that he/she blew the call. There's that also. When you get into officiating rather than coaching, you're taking your chances. And if you pick the wrong official to try and help out, don't be surprised if you get a negative reaction.
I don't think any official minds any coach asking them about a call...once. The coach deserves a respectful answer to a respectful question.
Do you do the same pointing thingy if a ball went out-of-bounds off of
your player? If
your player stepped on the end line, do you point that out too?
Welcome to the forum, Coach.
