Generally, I agree. Especially with a seasoned umpire who practices good game management. When it becomes necessary, you need to let them know that you are in control of the game. I imagine this always applies to players. But if you are looking for an exception, how about a coach who is being tossed with his pitcher who just threw at the batter. If the coach (especially a respected one) has to go by mandate, but he has been trying to control his team, I see no reason to embarass him.
