That assumes I would care in the first place what a coach hears or does not hear.

I think people worry too much about what observers (meaning coaches and fans) think about things we do. Coaches perceive all kinds of silly things that are absurd. So if I tell a partner "good call" I really do not care what they think if I say nothing. Coaches perceive we do not like them based off of some silly situation we were involved with them and it is simply not true. Coaches have to do better than that if they wish many of us to change something.
