The point of my post was to agree with the argument that 'they can protest anything they want'. In this case the protest committee decided to hear the protest and rule on it. In MOST cases, those protests are never even accepted. The actual situation that precipitated the protest was not important.
When I was training new umpires my advice to them was to never argue with a coach if they wanted to play the game "under protest", just note it in the book and play on. We don't rule on the validity of protest, and if the protest "committee" wants to hear it, thats their business.
