Narrative:

We were training on the d-side (handoff/coordinator) and coordinated the aircraft direct ZZZ so that the radar controller could clear the aircraft direct when he was above the mia (minimum IFR altitude). The radar controller instead issued the airborne IFR clearance via direct. We must solicit pilot concurrence.
