Some umpires say never talk to the fans.Does it? You don't know what the fans were saying. Maybe that was his way of warning them. Umpires can eject fans if they're being unruly, so maybe this guy was giving them a chance to behave better.
Now that I think about it, you might be right. This suggests to me the umpire is probably more patient with a bunch of loudmouthed obnoxious parents than I probably would be.
Rather address issues with the coach.
Umpire addressing fans opens that door to direct communication with them.
