If I could, I would. Why should a coach be able to come out on a routine judgment call and ask me "what did you see?" I'd like to respond with:
"Why the hell are you out here? The runner beat the throw, now get your *** back in the dugout and quit wasting our time." Actually, I am moving more in this direction. As it is, I'm just saying, "the runner beat the throw.....let's go" and walking away.
I would extend the "no leaving a position to argue" provision to include all judgment calls, including out/safe and fair/foul as well as all judgment based balk, interference, and obstruction calls.
