Helping a Pitcher?

your job isnt to coach. One time my friend tried to help someone with their batting stance, the OC ended up yelling at him and saying that he (the umpire) should coach the team insted of the coach.

I would not mention anything. If the other team saw you coaching the kid on how to throw a better curveball, then that would really tick off some fo the parents and coaches. Also, without the game even starting, they already have a reason to hassle you. They will think that you are biased and will hassle you throughout the entire game. Now if you were teaching the kid how to throw his curveball another day and another time, then that would be a different story.

When you are an umpire, that is your one and only job. You are not there to coach.
