It may get tiresome, but I dont have a problem with a coach asking to check with my partner, in fact, if I was a coach having this option, I'd do the same, the call just might get changed.
If I'm sure of my call, I just say no with an appropriate reply- no big deal.Its just a question being asked. It can become a prob if the coach asks on every call that didnt go his way, but I've never had that happen.
