He asked what I was talking about and I told him that he had been charged a visit each time his assistant handed the ball to the pitcher and spoke to him between innings. The coach was upset to the point that he nearly ejected himself. He must have told his assistant not to do it any longer, because we didn't have an issue the rest of the game.
What am I missing here? Why was the head coach so upset?

Why are you charging a trip if the meeting is between innings? Don't you read things that we talk about here? We must address this topic at least 4 to 5 times every Spring!
No, you do not charge trips on meetings between innings as long as the meeting does not hold up the game!
