What about if the manager wants the umpire to seek help so he doesn't have to use a challenge?
We have seen calls changed after the umpires huddled. With IR the umpire who made the call most likely isn't going to check with his partners figuring if the coach doesn't like it he can challenge.
Again as i previously mentioned this is the infant stage and I am pretty certain IR will be tweaked after it's indoctrination.
