If it isn't a legitimate question, don't answer at all. You'll only dig a hole for yourself.

I told him he could ask a question about the play. Not ask a question.

But, hey, I understand your POV. I've used both in the past and had success. If I get the sense that further communication isn't going to matter or isn't worth the effort, I don't include it. If the coach has been reasonable up to that point in the game I do.
