Here's the procedure.

Coach wants a discussion. Time is allowed, Ump approaches coach (if BU then he jogs over to foul line), adresses coach from at least an arms length, coach states whatever, answered, restates, answered and usually that will be it. Some leeway. When Ump breaks of to his position, it's over. Id Coach yells across diamond at anytime, he gets a warning (except to get Time of course). Secind warning pouts HC on bench, no third, HC gone.

Results in over 4,000 games, ejections reduced by 80%.

Cross the line, bring up a call in between innings, you can get tossed or warned. Discretion to our Umps. [/B]

sounds like u r a little league ump.
Coach wants to talk to me he is coming to me. If it is an assistant - well, managers have earned the right to speak to umpires, coaches are present to coach.
