All of this
Why aren't you helping coach? If you were out there at practice helping out you could have corrected this a lot less awkwardly. You want your kid to do awesome but you don't have the time to be involved with practice? LOL
Fwiw your coach is teaching them the wrong way to hit off the tee, but you need to be involved at practice if you want to help.

It's Tee-ball, dude. Don't say anything and just enjoy spending time watching your kid learn the game.
that's some stupid logic.
OP, correct the situation.

Yes, be that parent. You don't have to yell it from the stands, but speak to the coach afterward and offer your suggestions. He may admit that he doesn't know everything about T-ball and welcome the input.
I am sick of the "don't be that parent" crowd. If a teacher is teaching your children how to do math properly, do you just say "oh well, I don't have the time to be a teacher, so I will let them teach my child incorrectly"? I don't want to be that parent so I will let them indoctrinate my children with thinking that is contradictory to my thinking.
Also, when your children play sports, teach them to compete in sports and to play their best. And we wonder why we have a generation of children returning to live with mom and dad.

I just don't get why the OP doesn't teach his kid the correct way at home. Who cares what the rest of them do? Half of them won't move up from T ball and another half of that won't go to the next level. I coach youth baseball, I love it. I don't know everything, but I know more than the average guy. I don't have the patience nor the skill to coach kids in T Ball. So when my son starts, I won't coach him, but I will teach him on my own and make sure he isn't chasing butterflies and picking grass.

Lost in this is the fact that a dad, who apparently only shows up to practice occasionally (otherwise he'd be coaching), wants to tell a volunteer coach, in an apparently cheap league, how to run his operation.
Nope. Either keep your mouth shut, start coaching, or withdraw your kid from the league. Don't be a douche.

It sounds like you accidentally signed your kid up for one of those laid-back leagues where dads coach and the kids goof off and get snacks after the game.
yeah damn those 6 year olds and their fricking snacks!
