Always try to communicate the correct ruling, where applicable. (In other words, if I am going to tip a coach off to something they may or may not have already known that is advantageous to them in the game, then I am likely to say less.)
I don't know of any rule set that calls for a pitcher to "present" the ball. That is another of those lingering myths that actually was based in rule, I believe, many years ago. Most rule sets state the pitcher must take the pitching plate with the hands apart, the ball may be in either the glove or the hand, and pause to take a signal or simulate taking a signal. The hands must then come together for 1 second and not longer than 10 seconds (in most rule sets). The pitch begins once the hands separate.
