He determines the time between innings, the number of warm-up's??
My response to the situation that Tuss mentions is simple. " NO coach, get the player's off the field and we will have our plate meeting at the plate". If he doesn't like that, so what.

My plate meeting takes such a short amount of time, I simply don't care where we have it. Lineup cards, properly equipped questions, ground rules, done. I will (probably) suggest us taking it to the side in a non-school game and get it over quickly.
In a HS game, they shouldn't even be on the field.
