Plus the college coaches are told by our supervisors that we won't answer questions on every single play.

I do the same thing in NY girls' H.S. since NCAA-W modified rules are used. There's a bit more talking since H.S. coaches ask more - if not great - questions. The one thing I like about it is it prevents a coach yelling from 50 feet away to find out why I made a certain call. For the most part the conversations are pretty quiet. Those times where the coach starts getting out of hand I just handle it appropriately.
I preferred it as well, for the same reasons, so I hope IAABO goes back. I'd rather see them give it more time, and give the officials who are working 3-whistle more time to work on learning when to communicate and when to turn away. If you're working games with three, it's a good time to learn.

Of course, the games where a coach is more likely to yell 50 feet across the court don't usually have three officials.
