I think I can answer most questions with 20 seconds or less. I don't count words.

we don't ask for a coaching clinic, coaches should worry about doing their job, we should worry about doing ours. If I'm asked nicely about a coverage or rotation in between innings or something I will talk with the coach about it...it can help dispel myths

Be careful how the coach's question is phrased. If it starts with, "In the game we had LAST week...", you might want to opt out of trying to give a detailed answer. Usually that phrasing means the coach had a ruling go against him and he's looking for validation that those umpires were wrong. Besides that, he's had enough time since that game LAST week to investigate the ruling those umpires made without putting you on the spot.

One of my baseball rules of thumb - "Before you respond/react to anyone, consider the source."
