Let's get back to this live ball talk. If an umpire is working solo and turns to go back to their position at the plate, you shouldn't have a live ball situation.

I'm not saying the coach was correct, but when was the last time ANYONE saw a coach who wanted to discuss a play stand off to the side, waving to the umpire saying, "My good man, would you kindly divert your path in this direction so I may vigorously voice my objection to your decision"?
