Both coaches, all players and fans see us talk after the inning w/a close controversial play- probably thinking "Oh, that call was blown".

Not sure how many years you have--hope you learned something

I'm with you on this one. Usually I know the coaches. Its part of game management to be a supportive team. If I can say something to make the game go smoother because I know the coach or can make it be better, then I'm going to. And if you don't like it, tough crap. If I throw you under the bus, then you can rightfully be pissed.
