True, but if I will rarely refuse to answer a question if approached politely. There is either more to the OP than we have here, or (just as likely) at least one of the officials was relatively new and not ready to really talk to coaches.
It's also possible they knew they kicked the call and really didn't want to own up to it.
Then again....
There are a lot of possibilities here, I guess, so I'll stop rambling now.
