I have had umpires to come out and argue a call and tell me face to face, "I agree with your call but I have to prove to my team that I am fighting for them." The coach would be speaking to me in a manner that it was respectful but look more threatening. The only thing I said to the coach, I understand.
I have heard a coach ask someone to throw them from a game just to show his players he is backing them up. I am sure that has changed a great deal now since in KY a coach or school gets fined once they are ejected.
As far as does it benefit you from my standpoint, na. Will it help you get the next call, na. Now I can only speak for myself and probably most umps on here will tell you the same thing. I know and have witnessed that this does prove to work with some officials.
