I agree with Mountaineer. Intentionally making a wrong call shows zero integrity from an umpire. Have them step off.

The coach could be my brother, and I would still refuse. No coach should ever make such a request from an umpire. There are, as has already been stated, many rules that allow them to earn the outs on their own.

I don't believe I've ever intentionally called safe/out incorrectly.
but I was asked in one blowout to make his girls swing, shoulders to ankles (Coach's words), and I did expand things a bit. I also had one game that didn't matter at all and both teams were putting in pitchers who had never pitched before. Both coaches told me at the plate conference that if the batter could reach it AT ALL, strike it. So I did. After the first 6-inches outside-shoulder-high strike, the batters simply swung at almost everything. But this is a rarity, and I can't imagine ever extending this to calling safe runners out.
