I have done this only on dead-red non-strike calls (accompanied by cranial fletus), discreetly, to coaches whom I knew not to be b@llbusters.

Besides, I got every other call right. For 31 years. Go figure.

In my view, there is only one way to answer the question the coach asked in the OP. That answer is "Yes, or I would have balked him". You can add, " and I'll keep watchin closely".

That coach, like all the other's, is just trying to get in your head to get his team a slight edge. Pure and simple. I am very likely to be very tuned in to how HIS pitcher is pitching for the rest of the game as well.
