It's very unprofessional for a coach to suggest they would. A coach should not be stirring the pot between parents and umpires.
Most high school baseball and softball games are played on weekday afternoons. Other sports may be played in the afternoon. When this is the case the game official pool is limited. A majority of the game officials available for weekday games are old, retired guys. They tend not to be as good as the umpiring pool available on nights and weekends. You live with it.
That's ageism.
