Does anyone consider it coaching to announce you are covering a tag up, rather than "switch" or "reverse" or something like that?

Hell, no. It's preventive umpiring.

R1 on 1B, ball to RF.

PU: I've got 1B
R1: What? Damn, I have to make sure I don't leave early
BU: Out! (R1 was so deliberate in not leaving early, s/he was out at 2B)
