If he's coming out to question a tricky ruling, you go to him. Even the Major League umpires stick to that advice.

How do you in advance why the coach is coming out to see you? They're so stupid that half the time they come out it's for a totally incomprehensible reason.

If a coach is coming out onto the field, it is usually obvious what he is going to say. If you just banged a guy out a third base on a close play, he is probally coming out to question your call. If you just enforced the force play slide rule, then he is probally coming out to question how this rule is enforced. Yes sometimes a manager will come out and talk to you when you have no idea what he is going to say, but for the most part, you can predict the conversation.
