I agree, but I have also found that some coaches don't want to take that character hit and want the umpires to be the bad guy.
I have had coaches request time to tell me their runners were going to jump early so I could call them out. I suggested that the 3B coach just catch their runner rounding 3rd for the out. The coach looked at me like I was crazy and said, "I can't do that, I'm the coach!"
So, the umpire needs to *******ize the game, but the coach cannot?
