Another school: Think about contact in terms of was it Marginal or Illegal.

Also helps with the explanation: Coach, In my opinion, that contact was marginal and didn't affect your player's ability to ______.

If the contact was illegal, if it clearly affected the player's RSBQ: Whistle

And by doing so you now have rules backing for any dickhead coach that might question you.

The only response needed imo is "Coach, that was incidental contact." Anything more than that is a rules seminar.
