Catcher Chatter

OBR tournament. In the game last night, the catcher continually chattered to his pitcher - even during the windup and pitch. Is this allowed? I thought it was a no no, and another umpire agreed, but the UIC let it go and I can't find anything in the rules that would apply.

What do you think?

I don't know of any rule the prohibits it. I once ejected an F2 for what he was saying to batters. I suppose if it gets to the point of being distracting you could ask him to stop.

Depends a bit on the level, but if it's annoying enough I might tell F2 to knock it off and "play the game."
