Do you do that before or after Earlywine charges you, drops to point to a spot on the foul line and then gets in your face?

Every situation is different and the umpire has to deal with each one accordingly.

If I have to step back, the coach/player it's quite possibly gone, s/he just doesn't know it yet.
