Asking me to "watch for..." implies that it's happening and I'm not calling it.

No thanks.
No reponse at all to that player's statement ?
I'd say something, like "We haven't seen any contact."

I agree. As long as they are asking in an appropriate manner, they deserve an answer. I've used what Mick said on occasion or more often than not just an "OK" will do.

I just say "Ok" and then promptly forget all about it.

Nobody said they didn't deserve an answer.

I'll give an answer but I'm not going to be real concerned with what it is.

Quite honestly, the coach isn't looking for an answer.

I have no problem saying, "There's no such thing."

That's what I do. It often gets me some not so kind looks by the lesser informed.

How about, "I saw it. It was a great play."
