I fail to understand why coaches feel it's necessary to argue ANY calls. What do they expect will happen? "Oh, yes, sir - you're right, he was safe ... don't know what I was thinking... bring your guy back out here." The arguments serve absolutely no purpose, and only antagonize the umpire and waste time. I can understand calm discussions when a rule might be misinterpreted, or even, "How did he balk, Blue?" But the arguments are nonsense.
