I agree totally!

When speaking with a coach, less is better.

Example from game tonight - pop up down first base line..
BR, F1, F2 and F3 all converge. Ball ends up being dropped in foul
territory.

Coach comes out to ask about interference. I listen he talks.
"That has to be interference, the F3 had to dodge the runner and F1 ran into the BR." etc., etc.

None of that happened at all but I just said, "Coach, I didn't think it was interference. We did NOT have any contact so we have a foul ball."

I walked back to the plate and we played on.

I can see many umpires talking with the coach for several minutes over nothing. Its a judgement call - play on.

Thanks
David
