In that kind of situation, I wouldn't worry too much about being accused of "coaching." You're not telling the players what to do, you're reporting the status of the ball. In this regard, signalling "fumble" is in fact like signalling a tip on a potential BC violation.
I'm sort of curious what your "fumble" signal is. Is it like the "bobble" signal umpires use at 1B?
