I'd say something, like "We haven't seen any contact." |

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."

Agree with Junker; it's okay to acknowledge the concern quickly as long as they're polite about it. They might not have the term right, but they think the other team is getting away with contact. Just say okay and move on; or be like some guys I know who take it personally and call 'OTB' on the team that just complained....

Don't Escalate
Although it may be easier said then done, it may be a better response to say that you didn't see the over-the-back. A comment that is derogitory may just escalate the whole issue.
Is the point, that you did not see a player gain an unfair advantage? Is it not possible that the coach saw it differently? Isn't the rest is terminology? |

If a coach asks you to "watch for over the back" or "watch for the reach" just look at him/her and ask "Why?"
See what kind of response you get.
