It doesn't make sense...frankly it's stupid...to reply with thank you when the comment doesn't call for it, confusing a coach into being quiet isn't good game management. Pissing them off when they think you are being a prick is even worse.

Here's a bit of news. Communication is rarely all verbal. I'm willing to bet that Juulie's demeanor is such that she says more on the court than her words convey.
If it's worked for her, then you have no beef whatsoever. It's an alternative to "I hear you coach." Both are just as likely to blow up. And, for what it's worth, silence isn't always the best response.
