Yes, you should be looking for something on this play....their scorebook!!!!
There have been times, and this looks like one of them, when the umpire justs needs to be wanted.
Coach: I know the rules, you are wrong.
Ump: Ya' know coach, maybe you're right. Get me your scorebook so I can note your protest.
Coach: I didn't say anything about protesting the game.
Ump: C'mon coach. You've got all that experience, I'm sure you feel that a protest is appropriate or you wouldn't be out here telling me how stupid I am. Please, coach, let me sign your book.
Coach: Well, aahh, I don't know, aahh, maybe I don't, well, you know, want to, aahh, protest.
Ump: Aawwwe, dang it all! And here I so badly wanted to make sure I got this right. Are you sure you don't want to protest, coach?
Coach: Ummm, no, I don't think so, not this time.
Ump: Good, thank you. Now go sit down and watch the game. Play!
JMHO,
