Is there a basis for the coach talking to the umpire? Is there a basis for the player AND the coach talking to the umpire? Don't OOO this. You're not going to have a serious outbreak of intentional IPs in order to get a free conference.

Suppose a runner was about to be out on a look back rule violation and the pitcher messes it up by faking a play. Coach comes out arguing for the out. You point out that the pitcher faked a play. Coach now goes to tell the pitcher not to fake plays when the runners are dancing around the bases.

You've not just charged an infraction against the pitcher. This whole thing started with the caveat that handling this varies with the level of play. If we are talking about a level of play where both the coach and the pitcher need my help in understanding what I called, I'm not charging a conference if they happen to speak directly to each other instead of using me as a go-between.
Once my part is done, if they do not end it too, I'd inform them we are ready to play ball, unless the coach wants a charged conference. Then, it is his choice - conference or no. I seriously don't see why this is such a big deal. As I said, there will not be an outbreak of intentional IPs being thrown in order to get a free conference.

Read Scott's response again, it is the correct answer.
You are correct as far as I am concerned. However, if you tell a coach and then accompany him to the circle as he tells the player, this would still fall under the domain of an official's time out. Now, if you don't go out there with him, and have no idea what instruction he may be giving apart from the IP, then you would probably have to charge him a conference. That is where preventative umpiring, i.e. walking to the circle with the coach, comes in handy! |
