Which is where I was heading. When you began telling me how you handle it and I questioned that. However, instead of trying to learn, you seemed to be more interested in telling me how players and managers have their own langauge and you rather communicate at an amateur level instead of using the proper terminology which, IMO, helps others learn.

A major point on game management is for an umpire to listen to a coach's argument/issue, they just may have a point. In turn, if you are talking, you aren't listening.

I AM trying to learn. However, I will be the first to admit that I may have some things learned wrong so far which I have to get corrected. I have been told that a leap is a replant. Apparently I was told wrongly.

It took the same process to learn to call baseball. A lot of umpires for baseball have some wrong ideas that they teach as fact. It took a while to sort it all out.

And coaches do have their own language. That has to be learned as well.
