I edited my last post so many times that I forgot to include that part. Yes, both umpires should go to the coach. However, I would have one umpire definitely take lead on this one, and the other should remain close by. Not hiding, but close. Two umpires approaching one coach can send the wrong initial message of "we're ganging up on you."

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
