Where did anyone say there was an "uneven application"?
Don't read things into a post that are not there.
Do you think a coach at a college showcase wants to sit there an watch umpire's call girls illegal all day? The coaches know what they are looking for in a pitcher and they know if they are illegal or not.
This is just one of many different circumstances where umpires may be given instructions contrary to the Championship Play rules.
