Disagree. I may ask the coach if he/she is sure they want to do it but then stop there.

Why should I take an opportunity from the defense to get an out because they were on their toes and the offense wasn't?

With a runner on base and a fly ball to the outfield, do you tell the runner when she can leave on a tag-up? It's the same thing. You would be preventing an out from possible being awarded to the defense if they appealed a runner leaving early on a fcaught lyball.

Giving a coach feedback when they ask if they can do something is one thing but giving counsel without being asked is another.
