That's how you make it clear. You kept dodging the question.
I agree that we should not be in the business of coaching. We're not coaches, we're umpires.
However, I completely disagree that we should not inform the coach that what they are about to do is illegal. This falls into the category of "preventative umpiring," and there is absolutely nothing wrong with preventing a coach from willfully violating the rules of the game. This isn't coaching, this is umpiring.
