There's one more option: you BOTH go to the coach and, like Steve said, approach it with "We screwed up, and this is how we are going to fix it."

Remember, there's nothing wrong with admitting you f'd up when you really did f up. It's how you fix it after the fact that determines how well you got through the situation.

I edited my last post so many times that I forgot to include that part. Yes, both umpires should go to the coach. However, I would have one umpire definitely take lead on this one, and the other should remain close by. Not hiding, but close. Two umpires approaching one coach can send the wrong initial message of "we're ganging up on you."
