The only time I'd tell a catcher to do anything is when i have a batter wandering aimlessly in between pitches, I'll tell the catcher (if I tap you on the back that just means have him pitch, tell him this in the dugout).
I'll also alert the batting team's manager next time he runs out to coach third base to have his kids staying around the box (preferably with a foot in it).
Then if the crap continues of the kid taking 10 steps out and 2 practice swings, look at the coach for 10 seconds, then step back in, I'll just tap the catcher and I know it won't happen again.
Only had to do it once my whole career.
Is this cheating too?
