Posted in the wrong thread. But since you brought it up, there's nothing we can do, by rule. The NCAA has addressed this somewhat by stating that runners cannot vacate their bases to talk to a coach while the defense conducts a players-only meeting. But even in NCAA, when the defense meets up, the batter can go up to a coach to talk strategy with no conference being charged.
