Making a coach player "mother may I" is obnoxious and pretentious. If you know what the coach is driving at but are too "type A" to honor it, then at least ask the coach for clarification.

If obvious actions on a live ball appeal are good enough (e.g, line shot back to the pitcher, who throws to 1st base to double up R1 who didn't tag up), then why jerk around with the coach when you know what they are doing?
