Illini_Ref,
BigUmp56 has told you true.
For your reference, below is the text of the "instructor comments" from the 2005 LL RIM concerning Rule 4.06(2).
Quote:
INSTRUCTORS COMMENTS:
===> Language from anyone that reflects badly upon opposing players, manager, coach, an umpire or spectators. Penalty is ejection.
===> Most teams, particularly infielders, chatter ("Hey, batter, batter") when the ball is being delivered. This is usually acceptable, and has not caused any problems in local leagues. Do not, however, allow any player, especially the catcher, to yell "Swing" at the batter when the ball is being delivered.
===>Umpires should be alert to a manager or coaches' action toward players of his/her own team as well. If the behavior warrants the adult's removal, do so.
