Preventive umpiring. If the coach has come out to complain about the batting order, even though not that particular batter, I'm not going to sit there and wait for a fustercluck to occur when I can correct the situation especially at a point where there is no penalty. If the defensive coach complains, I'll just let him/her know that they initiated the situation and I just corrected it.
