Have to jump in here also. Besides baseball I officiated Ice hockey over 20 years and can point in the manuals were talking to the players is highly encouraged, AT ALL LEVELS. I personally know that it takes place at the PRO level too.
Of course, at the Pro levels of ANY sport there is going to be a lot less communication because your suppposed to be dealing with professionals. Hello!
For the most part here though, I would bet that at least 95-98% of the officials don't work those ranks, and I am not just talking about baseball.
Your welcome to work as you see fit though.
