There is a lot at play here. This is a situational decision as it could change the a lot about the way that the coach operates and his personal for the situation. A few things to consider. #1 does the coach have a member from his side keeping a book at the score table. If so, they can compare books. Do the officials have direct knowledge of an error made? Is the book correct and the scoreboard error? Time, score, situation, half, and who has the ball.
I may first say, "I will look at it when I can." (don't forget). Could lead the coach with "I can look at it at the next time out." Maybe it is important enough for the coach to call a time out so that I can look at the situation. Either response lets the coach know that you are approachable and that you will look at the situation. I am likely not going to stop a live ball but may look at it on the next dead ball, that could mean after a made basket. Again depends on the game, situation, and table. You might be able to tell the table during a play to check foul counts.
