Getting together would cause ,in my opinion, a coach who knows the rules ( i know they are rare but they do exist) to be all over one or possibly both of the umpires because they had to discuss something when the U1 protected the runner to third.
Agree, nothing really to discuss, but the umpire making the call does need to know what is going on and why his partner killed the play and kept the runner there.
