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.
Summer ball, I may have said the same thing; and quietly regretted it.

I also might have ignored it in summer ball.

High school ball, the coaches around here don't bitch about this kind of stuff.
