Coaches who "give you crap" for this are the sort of coaches who are going to give you crap for a whole bunch of other stuff anyway so I wouldn't be worried about it.
The vast majority of coaches I know and whose games I work understand why you pass on a play like this and expect good officials to do so.

1)Did the contact disadvantage the player.? ie. IMpact pass, stop the play, take the offensive player out of the play entirely.
2) Is the contact excessive? UNsporting, rough, dangerous
3) Is the contact likely to lead to rough play? Retaliation, expectation that this level of play or contact should be common and ok throughout the game, etc.
If I've got 3 nos we are playing on no whistle. If I've got a yes to any I'm calling the foul.

I think these are good considerations and perspective in looking at this type of play.
