Well, directly in front of it. If a coach is yelling at you from inside his dugout, and you feel that you need to address it, do you:
- Walk over toward his dugout?
- Summon him out onto the field?
- Go into the dugout after him?

The flip side is that if this disintegrates, then you appear the aggressor, for having "chased" him. Again, you have to know the time and place, and have what it takes to pull it off.

eehhh... this is fall ball. If the guy is not being belligerent, I can see helping them out some. "Clinic" might be a little much, and I think bret has more patience than me... but nothing wrong with trying to educate them some in Fall Ball.

I'm with Bret on that one.
It is clear that no one there had a clue; if you are going to explain the rules (mini-clinic, as was said), there might as well be everyone possible getting it first hand. Coaches, players, and parents.
Explaining it to the clueless coach won't get it trickling down accurately.
You have to know the time and the place, but this is a great technique we call "learning moments" in my local youth leagues.
I understand that makes sense in certain sitch and for some rules, just didn't want it to look accepted generally.

How about meeting half-way?

Where I work most of my games, the opening of the dugout is FARTHER from PU than where his coach was.
