dunno, i might be wrong according to the "letter" of the rule... but having defensive coaches running around in foul territory anytime they want without "asking" for time to be called... just doesnt seem right. and im new, but i have had coach after coach ask if they could sit on a bucket here... or lean on the fence there...and i always say no. dugout please.

So, you are going to kill a play and deprive the offense of advancing because the defense's coach is on the field?
As you said, you are new. Unless the coach actually OBSTRUCTED a runner, this is nothing, but a stern discussion when all play is over. Then after the coach reminds you of your place, you can dump her. Otherwise, there is nothing to call.
The umpires were correct, lacking that the coach affected the play in any manner.
