I was a second year umpire and had a high fly foul near the dugout. The catcher was going for it, but not really "camped" under it. The dugout all yells, "Out of play! Out of play!" The catcher pulled-up just as the ball drops at her feet.
I sold it big time. "That's verbal interference on the dugout! That's an out! You can't be yelling like that!" Big voice and big hand motions.
But then I had to over turn it. They got a good laugh at me. It ended up that was the catcher's own team members and her dugout.
