I shouldn't respond to you, since it's obvious to me that you're an ASSt coach. But against my better judgement...
Assistants are there to assist the head coach. Both of the actions you describe are of that vein. And I don't really care who gets that foul ball off the field. We aren't playing until someone does.
Assistants are NOT there to chirp at the umpire. And if they do, they are not there at all.
PS - good luck ignoring BU. So ... how do you know if your runners are safe on the basepaths?
PPS - your analogy is actually kind of stupid. Head coach / Manager is a different animal than ASSt coach. BU and PU are simply different positions of the same animal, interchangeable often every game. Neither is inherently more or less important than the other.
