Gentlemen,

I am currently involved with coaching two baseball teams. On one team, I am the Manager/Head Coach while on the other, I am an Assistant Coach. On the team where I am the Assistant Coach, should an occasion arise during a game where we believe the umpire(s) may have misapplied a rule in making a decision, I represent our team in the discussion with the umpire(s).

I suggest that this is proper, legal, and the team's decision rather than the umpires'.

What do you think?

The head coach has priviledges that assistants do not. The head coach is the official representative of the team. I do not discuss issues with assistants.
