Possible responses:

"Thanks, Coach -- you guys played well." (say it sincerely, as if you think he's given you a compliment.)

"That was my partner's call. I'll discuss it with him / her."

"Excuse me while I get a paper and pen. I want to be sure I get all this down for the report I need to write."
