Hmm,
Sometimes Mike you're just wrong in how officiating is done in the modern age.
I have been taught for many, many moons that preventive officiating is not only accepted but it clearly defines the top officials from the "almost" top officials.
Quietly reminding a pitcher that he needs to "pause better" when you are a base umpire, telling post men in basketball to quit pushing on each other while trying to gain position, or assiting a wide reciever to line up legally in a football game are not coaching.
Telling players to stay back on the grass as a runner scores is not coaching it is asking that the players respect you in doing your job.
