As a general rule, I'll answer most questions. Personally, I will almost always tell a coach when I mucked up a call. There is, however, a lot of dynamics involved and game management is an art most officials don't have. Without it, you're not working 5A or even 4A around here. Or maybe even any varsity games for that matter. Really depends on association.

I don't answer parents' questions, even those who are recording the game from the stands. We do not know if the official in question answered any questions about that call, assuming the HC even questioned it. And I have a hard time believing the 15 year-old looking official would ignore questions from a coach.
