What are you going to address? Are you 100% sure he was talking to the pitcher. He could have been telling his runner to "step off" the bag. Unless you are sure that the 3B coach was trying to get the pitcher to balk, I wouldn't go there. sometimes what is said on the field is a fine line for enforcing this rule however, make sure that line is clearly crossed before addressing.
