Don't exist
I once had a game that only had one umpire. I have also worked a game as an umpire without a partner. Because of this, when I am coaching, I don't talk to base umpires because they don't exist.
For those of you who claim assistant coaches don't exist, I bet if there is a foul ball that ends up near the first base coach's box you expect that non-existent coach to pick it up and get it off of the field. I bet when the head coach shouts substitutions from the dugout in a manner that is difficult to understand and the assistant stops to clarify them for you on his way to first base, you ignore him and bring the game to a halt by making the head coach come out and explain the changes to you.
