In fact, in baseball it's exactly the same thing: coaches working the officials to try to get a more favorable call.

Rarely do I encounter a truly great coach. And even among great coaches, I have never encountered a coach who's a better umpire than even me.

Get the call right. There is only one call.

Dignity or "fairness" is fine, but getting the call right is better.
Those are some very respected officials (AB and Allan), but I happen to agree with RunsCreated.
Add D3K and balk calls to Pete's list of Carl's list, unless they fall into #2.

Is that a direct quote from the MLB manual? I don't know of any MLB umpires named AB, Allan, RunsCreated, Pete, or Carl. Are they executives?
