Man, the hole you're digging just keeps getting deeper and deeper...
If the coaches are "cheating" their player by not giving adequate instruction, that's not your problem. And coaching players has little to do with "making the umpire's job easier".
Besides, how do you know what these coaches are teaching their players? Maybe they've been taught to vacate any area needed by the defense on this play, but the kid just zoned out or didn't even see the runner coming home.
Then you get ticked because your partner sees a rule violation and calls it, after you gave the coach a half-baked explanation why you wouldn't? Maybe your partner just finlly decided that whoever is teaching you basic game management techniques has done such an inadequate job that he'd better take matters into his own hands.
