One which states that any time the manager crosses the foul lines, has a conference (without the PU, for injury etc.), it is a trip. I have also seen an write up that states he can coach/watch warm up pitches but must leave immediately after the 5th pitch or 1 minute.
Thoughts?

A manager may make an uncharged trip or visit between innings as long as it does not delay the game (umpire's discresson).
On an injury visit, the PU must accompany everyone to the mound. As long as the conversation is about the injury the visit is uncharged. If the conversation turns to pitching instructions or the like, the visit gets charged.
