As much as I hate the thought of agreeing with Warren, I at times feel compelled to. This is one of those (few) times. (grin)
Fed Casebook 1.4.2 references situation whereby "The umpire informs the coach that a protest for such reasons will not be considered....."
This is casebook example of umpire making decision on the field whether to accept or not accept protest. I would also tend to agree with J/R (not to be understood as putting you in same class now, Warren) not to belabor the issue. If coach gives continuing grief, I will likely accept his protest for sake a game continuity.
Just my opinion,
