This is good advice, but dont be surprised if the coach takes this opportunity to (politely?) complain about the strikezone. Nip that right away.
I dont believe any coach gets tired of hearing their catcher say whatever they can "to help their team" and possibly having to remove his starting catcher wouldnt be considered an opportunity to solve a problem. You are warning him, so if you have to eject, the coach cant complain that he hadnt been warned, was surprised, ect.......
