I've used "I'll try to get some different angles." That is a variant of "I'll watch for it."
Had a game last week where the arrow had not switched and the start of the 4th qtr had the same team taking the ball out. He asked about it & I checked with the table and there had not been any held balls in the 3rd qtr. [And don't chime in with the whistle in the pocket trick, please]. Turned out he was right. As the C, with my back to him, I simply said, "Thanks, coach." I think he felt good that he was listened to when he voiced his concern in a calm manner. Which was out of character for him.
