Bob - any idea why was this removed from the Case Book for the 2006 edition? I don't have CBs going back that far.

No idea. There's frequently a debate on what it means when an interp is published, but doesn't make it to the case book, or when a case is removed (absent a rules change, of course) -- is the case / interp no linger valid or is it just because of space considerations?

And they know he's out because they know the rule. Also because it is a very long standing and accepted mechanic.
Nor do I verbalize "take your base" after ball 4. Why? I assume they know the rule and are paying attention.
Major league baseball players also shave

From a previous answer concerning this OP

World Series (game 6?) A J Pierzinski at bat (I'm sure I misspelled that) with 2 strikes and 2 outs. Pitch near the dirt, batter swings. F2 thinks he caught it and rolls the ball to the mound. BR takes off thinking F2 didn't catch it. Doug Eddings, PU, says nothing and watches all of this transpire.

If memory serves Pierzinski later came around and scored the winning run.

After that play even the PROS verbalize.

As Bob and others have mentioned calling the batter out on the situation provided is NOT coaching. It is merely stating a fact. What the players do with THAT information is up to them.

Comparing the OP to a swinging strike 3 is like comparing Apples / Oranges

The more information we can give like when F3 is off the bag (the proper mechanic is to give the "sweeping motion") is good for the game. It avoids a possible shi**ouse
