This is a great question.

Are you going to deny the request for TO? My guess is no.

It is always up to us if we want to talk in these situations. If they want to call the TO that is up to them.

I have handled it a few ways.
1) Go opposite and not engage the coach. Just because they want to talk about it, doesn't mean I want to.
2) I have granted a TO after my call and told a coach "you've got 10 seconds to say what you want about that call, no profanity, no yelling." I have not had to do this very often but it helps move the situation along. The coach gets makes their point, I listen, then I move away.
3) If they want to talk to partner(s), it is up to them. But I am not hanging around for the coach to discuss a call by my partner.
