I disagree. Communicate. Give the proper signals, then selectively embellish when the signal alone doesn't really tell anything. More than once, it has settled a coach down without any additional effort....their reaction could be translated to "Oh, so that's what you called them for". I don't do it or recommend it often but it does have its place.
