I like Tee's mechanic about rundown or moving coverage situations. Rookies should pay attention to the fact that the umpire is saying that he is there, not that he is going there. I don't really worry about the defense hearing me say, "I'm at third, partner." or "I'm here, Jim." Both ways let my partner(s) know that I have moved, not that I'm in the process of it. In other words, be there before opening your mouth - it should only take a second or two to move the necessary amount.
