Dats about it.
When I was a RAT, I expected my assistants to be very involved with practice and pre-game preparation, offer advice during the game either solicited or not, and coach 1B. I generally took 3B. I expected more from them than you do, but I did not expect them to have discussions with umpires, of which I was also one, on different fields, and we were pretty clear about that.
