I have also found this is a great way to turn the conversation in our favor when you ask coaches a question. Usually they do not have a good answer or it makes them think about what they are really complaining about and they know where they stand with you. The coach in this situation is trying to suggest the umpire was wrong based on a very flawed point of view.

You are kidding right? Have you ever seen anything close to home run hit in this situation? It was a smart alek remark. How about instead he says "coach, he tried to hit the ball".
