Canada/US difference

I don't entertain assistant coaches disputing calls at *any* level. The NFHS may have put this in writing, but that's really the only difference.

Watch more pro games - you know - the ones that the OBR was written for. Coaches and players "discuss" calls with umpires REGULARLY and as long as they don't cross the line they are alloerd to do so.

The instant tossing of a coach or player is bad game management.

I don't toss them -- I just don't pay attention to them. It's hard for a first base coach to argue a play at first if he has to talk to my back.

Perhaps if youth assistants *did* get run more quickly they'd learn that only managers should be talking to umpires about calls.
