Assuming Little League rules on this board is a bad habit you should break ASAP. However, Little League rules are derived from the OBR, and approximately 95% of the time, the LL inteprretation of a particular rule is parallel with, if not actually verbatim, the corresponding OBR interpretation.
Just like with the OBR, though, you have to dig a little deeper than merely your Woody Woodchuck manual. The Instructor Comments for rule 4.05 in the Little League Rules Instruction Manual says:
It is common practice for a coach who has a play at his/her base to leave the coach’s box to signal the player to slide, advance or return to a base. This may be allowed if the coach does not interfere with the play in any manner.
Darn close to a verbatim copy of the OBR casebook comment Steve gave you.
