With that being said, here's a video clip showing an NCAA umpire discussing a call with a pitching coach after a call on the half inning.

It also shows an argument that started between the BU and the 1B coach and ended with further discusison between the PU and the 1B coach.
But the short discussion with the pitching coach was harmless.
Opinions vary, but I am not going to avoid assistants, unless one wants to argue.
