Coaching.............The Umpire!

We all know umpires make bad calls.  So instead of beating them up over it, why not help them and your team out if you know an ump. missed a call?  Most little league umpires don't have all the rules and regs down yet as most are beginners.  A good coach should always have a league rule book handy just in case a situation arises where he/she has to correct an umpire on a rule call (infield fly rule, balks, runner position).  If this situation arises calmly call timeout and approach the umpire with rule book in hand, and there should be no problem fixing the ruling as long as it is a rule call.  Judgement calls (balls, strikes, outs) however can not be disputed.
