[QUOTE=AtlUmpSteve;942481]Solidly in Andy's "it depends" camp. To argue judgment, unless I have my own doubts, make the full walk of shame. If I called "safe" in doubt, I'm meeting and cutting off at the pass while going to my partner(s) as soon as I know the coach is acting responsibly.
Rule question or odd play, with basis for a legitimate question, probably meeting part way, unless coach just a repetitive pain in the butt.[/QUOTE Ditto. |

I go over to the opening in the safety fence at his bench and talk. If he comes out I walk him back to his bench and answer his questions. I just don't want them to feel like they can walk out on the field with questions all season long. Around here we have these teams several times per season

Interesting that some think the coach walking out is cooling off, others the coach heating up.
Over the years, I have mostly heard letting the coach come to you if they really want something and thereby not conceding that there is anything to discuss. Part of that is the concept of staying in “our turf”, not theirs. Except a few steps to maintain distance back to position. Yes, it depends on the case, who the coach is, how they are acting, etc. And I agree, usually, with “I know what I'm going to say, I'd rather the coach get a chance to think how they are going to act.”

BTW, if you are on bases, do you expect the coach to ask the PU for time first, to ask the PU for permission first, or address you directly requesting time out?

As long as he requests time and waits for it to be granted,, I don't care who he asks....

I agree. Umpires who get particular about who talks to them are unnecessarily seeking trouble.
