YMMV obviously, but I thought when Mako criticises Raleigh's fighting technique he takes it fairly well. He doesn't deny it or disregard her opinion (or her entitlement to an opinion), he basically cops her criticism and offers an explanation that when he's in the moment he makes split second decisions that he has to live with.

Combat-wise, I don't think he is giving her orders. He's verbalising decisions that they are making in tandem, for the benefit of LOCCENT (back at the Shatterdome) who are listening on the radio. The novelisation makes it clear that pilots are trained to "call" their moves in a way, both to let LOCCENT understand what's going on and also because for inexperienced pilots, it provides a focus point mentally while they're still relatively new are drifting in a combat situation. We hear other pilot teams doing a similar thing - Sasha Kaidonovsky tends to call moves while Aleksis remains silent.
