Like The Tea Nazi Says, "No Tea For You" ...
Sounds like a "What? Me?" shrug. I'm probably going to just ignore it. Which means that I can't complain about it, so I won't.

When it is excessive, I've been heard to say to the player, "Put your arms down! It's undignified to beg!" That stops it.

I don't mind the sincere "What did I do?" I'm happy to explain the call. What I'm seeing is the immediate default to this and the look over to the coach. Coach is already irritated the call went against him, then he gets the player reaction that suggests the call was missed. It can also incite negative spectator reaction. All on a correctly called foul/violation.

"Coach, I'll be glad to answer a reasonable question about what I called, but I can't have your player showing me up."

In my small area of the world we refer to this as the "Jesus arms." As soon as we see it we address it as showing up the officials and inciting team mates and fans, letting them know that they don't agree with the official's call. We tell the captain and coaches we will not allow players to consistantly do that and we don't want to see it any more. If we do it will warrant an "T" for unsportsmanlike conduct.

That's Right, It Can Happen, Probably Not, But It Can Happen ...

That's a nice add, BillyMac. But its too early in the new year for me to give coaches any credit.
