Regardless of the level, coaches are going to test a "new face" to see how much leash they can get. As they see you more often, the comments will lessen.
As mentioned, work hard on your mechanics to make sure you're projecting confidence with your signals and voice. Have your uniform in "state finals" condition. Be approachable without appearing to curry favor.
One technique that helped me when I started to move up was the "Preview Principle." I tried to anticipate what a coach might say to me in a particular situation, and what my response would be.
Good luck!
