Both cases - NO! Umpiring, not coaching.

Rapport with players and coaches is important, and being pleasant is part of that. Varsity and above, never warn about violations or situations.

JV, MS, some JO; ok to let a coach know about obvious lack of knowledge like pitcher's hands violations; but no competitive level coaching.

"Let's work together and get strikes" implies some that are not, just to keep moving.

All of that speech reads like weakness to me, especially above 8th grade.
