In my experience, sometimes but not always.
Being able to actually call a game at a given level is on the first step to proficiency; and it's not the hardest step. Learning to communicate appropriately and effectively to coaches is the final and most difficult piece.
OTOH, there are some coaches with whom we just cannot communicate because their expectations from the communication are unreasonable.
