Yeah, I see your point with not telling coaches to talk to the umpire that makes the call, but I look at it this way:
If I say, "if you have a question, talk to the umpire that makes the call" I've in effect told them that yelling at the umpire will not be accepted. So to me, it's just a reminder that we care about professionalism from coaches.
And the two chances to act professionally is about all they get. If they continue to rant and rave, I won't even listen to them.
I guess it boils down to personal opinions.
