Why do umpires think that's a compliment? All the coach is saying is that for whatever reason you have consistently believed that pitch to be a strike. The coach is not necessarily saying that that is a good thing.
I prefer hearing the coach say, "He's right that was a strike. You gotta swing at those."

Because consistentcy is the most important thing to calling a good game. From the dugout or third base all the Coach can see is up and down. If your high and low and in and out never wavers they know what to expect.

Nonsense. Consistency in calling a good strike zone is important. Consistency in calling crap is not. Consistency in and of itself is meaningless.
One can consistently miss bangers at first.
"Well, I was consistent," is the motto of the mediocre.

Hey stay on task were not talking about bases. I've got a great zone and I don't call CRAP. If you're not consistent you suck.
