I suggest to the coach that they have a conversation with the opposing coach and come to a conclusion without the umpire's being placed in the middle.
That's sort of what I'm referring to - except they have to step off. I won't call them out for leaving early if they don't leave early. But usually the coach is instructing them to step off to get the out. I have no problem with that.
