It's situational. Sometimes there's only one reason the defense is doing what they're doing. Plus, you're going to hear directions from the dugout, so you know what's going on. No need for an 11 year to try to stumble through verbalizing it, if you can avoid it.
Other times, like a missed plate on a grand slam, you're going to need to be asked the right question.
In the OP, the defense would have been wise just throw it to second, and tag the runner to make the appeal, instead of tossing it over to first. But again, that's just bad coaching.
