Even if that is the wrong (not pitching) coach, I've had good success with getting the message across to clean it up, rather than make the borderline call. If they ignore it, I then call the next more aggregious instance, and usually get the "well, he did warn us" reaction, more than the "that's tickytack" comment it might receive.
This is the approach I have used - also with good success
