The last thing any good umpire would want to be branded would be a cheater. Don't cheat, or even threaten to cheat. Word will get around, and you won't last.

Just have the catcher go out and talk to him.

Who said anything about changing the zone. I never said that. I said change the TONE of voice. Letting the coach, pitcher, and catcher know this needs to stop. This gives the coach a chance to react or his pitcher's day will be real short. Never said anything about changing the zone.
