Learning to communicate with coaches is just as much learning when not to say anything to them as much as it is learning what to say to them when something warrants a response.
One of the most helpful pieces of advice I got at camp this past summer was to not to move into the coaches' doghouse once you report a foul if free throws will be attempted. Stand near the center circle for the first free throw, and by the time you move to the proper position for the subsequent action, the coach often won't have anything to say to you. This is a CCA mechanic that can be helpful in high school where we stay tableside after reporting.
