I actually pre-game against this. Do not explain partners' calls. Period! Coaches are manipulators and it often leads downhill. There is no upside. None.
Only way should be talking to the coach about something you didnt call is a clear rule administration. "We are going to shoot the 2 for the foul, then 2 for the T" or something like that.

+1. I also pregame this. You know how many times there has been a play in front of my partner that he passes, or makes a call, on and I am near the coach when the coach gets into me for not calling something. I reply with "I wasn't looking there." The coach tells my partner "he didn't have a foul or he didn't want to call because it was in front of you"
Twice this season. Those coaches I tune out the rest of the game. One of them asked me why I wasn't talking with him and I told him I didn't appreciate him making things up to my partner and he lost all good will from me for the remainder of the game.
