Sometimes it can also educate the coach such as informing them that the zone is over the plate, not where the batter is standing in the back of the box, etc. If the coach is continually chirping from the dugout, that's a different situation. But a professional, brief discussion between innings, I have no problem.

And, not where the catcher catches it, usually on a change-up.
