I could understand if he was asking the catcher right after the pitch(in public, so to speak), but during a pitching conference, in a game where I'm coaching, in this situation, I guess you guys are going to have to run me out too. And I used to wonder why so many coaches say umpires are arrogant ***holes.

You read it wrong. He did ask the catcher, as you say, in public right after the pitch. THEN he called time and went to the mound where the catcher told him what the umpire had said.
By the way, Coach, thanks for jumping to a mistaken conclusion and calling us arrogant a$$holes. I think I've had one of your games.
