I also think that we sometimes HAVE to act, regardless of WHEN. A coach would not allow his kids to say the same thing to him when they disagree, so he shouldn't expect to get away with it either.
For the record, this is not me, or a game I was at. I saw it on another board and thought it was good for discussion here.

Depends on what's said. I'd expect some jawing that normally, during the game, I'd have to stop. After the game's over, I'll give them a bit more rope because I'm heading for the car.
In this case, I have no idea what was said. The base umpire should've been quicker leaving the field, too.
