Is this the proper porcedure? I just want to go about things the correct way so as not to get on the bad side on umpires right off the bat.

As a head coach, I would expect you to direct your questions to the official that made the call.
If I have something to talk about with my partner, its going to be after the game so any problems or questions with a call will be nullified.
Think about it with common sense, why would I as an official want you to ask a question to another umpire about my call?
Thanks
