Obviously I don't know what tone you used but "I can and I just did" sounds too confrontational.
How about: "Coach, when your team stops trying to score I'm supposed to blow the play dead." It's a few more words but in one sentence you let him know why the whistle blew and - indirectly - that there's a rule-related reason for it. If he complains after that it's on him.
