If I hear it, that’s verbal OBS. You cannot award a batter a base without at a minimum a pitched ball. If anything the Plate umpire should have called time, warned the fielder and coach, then ejected on the next offense.
In FED, infielders can not yell "back" for example middle infielders working R2...they can slap their gloves, V-cut, etc...but they can't yell "back" in FED
