sorry if you guys think these are stupid questions, but i am a rookie.

i never acknowledge the coach when he is yelling about my calls. am i right? or should i sometimes explain my calls?

If the coach is 'yelling' about your calls, don't ignore it. Address it. A warning MIGHT be appropriate, but continous 'yelling' at the official constitutes a technical foul.

Don't get in the habit of 'explaining' your calls unless its the explanation of a rule and both coaches are together.
