From the responses to my comment it appears that in softball rather than correct a rule mis-interpretation you wait for a coach the "catch you" then you correct it? Am I understanding you all? I'm new to softball umpiring so I want to learn.
In the baseball world, where I have spent 20+ years umpiring youth to college ball, we are taught to get together and correct rule mis-interpretations. In fact for the past few years it has been suggested (and required) that even in some cases of 'kicked' calls the other umpire (or umpires) should approach the umpire making the call 'unsolicited' if they have information that might help him/her make the correct call (in the 2004 & 2005 D1 umpire's championship guide). Of course in the case of a kicked call no one can over rule the umpire making the call because if it isn't a rule mis-interp then it's a judgment call. The umpire making the call is the one that can change it....again this is on judgment calls.
Is it different in softball?
