Asking him, "Did you have a nice run?" sounds like bating, which is something to be avoided.

Arguments happen, even arguments about judgement calls. Handling coaches is part of your job. By now I have had so many come out to me that I can predict when they're coming and how I am going to handle the situation. I don't even get irritated or frustrated with them very much anymore because I know this is just another part of the game I have to take care of. A difficult part, but one I have to do well because umpiring is as much about handling people as rules and mechanics.
