If I'm in the stands of my son's game and I see a rule misapplied, I am going to let my son's coach know. Why not? Umpires can and do make mistakes. If the mistake is in rule interpretation, the umpire should be man enough to suck it up and correct it.
The umpires shouldn't be bigger than the game and the concept of don't you dare point out that an umpire made a rules mistake is making the umpire bigger than the game. By all means, don't disagree with a judgement call in public, but the rules are the rules.
