Coach A: "You're wrong."
Me: "Coach, player safety is m-"

My first response would have been, "That's the rule, coach."
If he had responded, "You're wrong." Then I would have gone with...
Me: Whack.
Btw, if I were the Trail in the backcourt with the injured player and you whistled after I deemed that he was up and ok, I would be annoyed with you. What do you think that your partner is doing back there? That isn't officiating with an R mentality, it is working with a me mentality. An R provides leadership. Sometimes that means letting his partners handle their business, not stepping on their toes and making it look as if they aren't capable or don't care about the possibly hurt kid.
