Umpire Courtesy

I do mostly baseball, with some fast pitch mixed in. Whenever I balk a pitcher in baseball, I do not explain it during that inning. I handle it like Tom and Mike handle IP's. I tell the coach the technical violation (in reserve and below games, in varsity they're on their own).
I can tell you most baseball coaches get downright upset if you try to talk directly to their pitcher.

I only made that mistake once.
