(My first reply since clearing the ignore list. Wonder how long this will last.)

Yes, I'll send the catcher out if it's "borderline." I did it when I worked college ball (D3), too. I don't really care if the coach knows, or not. If he comes out, there will be no tap-dancing. I'll simply say, "He's close and I'm simply letting him know that. I'd do the same for you." Then he can go back to the dugout.

Why do you make it sound like we have to be afraid or wary of coaches? In the end, I hold all the cards (I can make the coach leave if I need to). No reason to be afraid or upset or worried or tap dance. He asks, I answer, we move on. If he doesn't want to move on, that's not really my problem.
