Manager - Has the right to discuss plays and problems with the umpires. He also has the right to be heard in a dispute of a call (does not mean he will remain in the game). He is usually given a long leash.
Assistant Coaches - Tells players which way to turn, go, get back. Is allowed to ask the count and the number of outs and are allowed to small talk with umpires. They have no right to dispute a call with the umpires nor do they get any tolerance. They get an extremely short leash.
Players - They play the game. They have no right to dispute a call or decision by the umpires. They get no leash at all.
Scorekeepers, ball boys, announcers and other dugout personal - These people have no rights, no leash and will be removed in the blink of an eye if they object to a call or decision.
