Conference at the mound...and the plate

[tw1ns]

Watching Indiana/Indiana St softball today and after the Sycamores batter flies out weakly to the SS....ball gets thrown around the horn, then all the players gather at the pitchers mound, INCLUDING the catcher. Routine of hand gestures/slaps and such to the outfield, then I noticed that the batter, after running to first, comes back, stops and conferences with the next batter....I know that softball games are usually a lot quicker than baseball...but wondering if you think that this is all necessary and should be allowed? Just hoping that this doesn't trickle down to the HS level.
