If I feel it's relevant to the specific game I'm about to call (and not baiting me into confirming that one of my fellow umpires screwed them on a call in their previous game), I'll answer the question. I'll give some leeway to the coaches, but I won't let it be a free-for-all.
One or two quick questions, in my opinion, do not hold up the plate conference enough that I should decline to answer them.
