Yeah, I wouldn't ask Phyliss Diller what she thought of the play either. I just find that the majority of "big baseball fans" have about as much knowledge of baseball as the seats they occupy. Most fans blame the umpire first, ask questions later. That is why I wasn't surprised that your friend said this.
The bottom line is still that if the coach wasn't in the umpire's face, it wouldn't have happened, so the onus is on the coach in this case.
