If it's done at the higher levels, someone ends up with 5.25 oz x 90 mph in the ear. And, this is justifiable -- after all, the batter was trying to distrat the pitcher, and it worked.
We don't allow the retaliation at the lower levels, so we have to police it up front.
I haven't had a problem with a coach once I've explained it, and added that I won't allow it from the other team either.
