I can't imagine how a governing body could hold it against an official should he use an indicator, regardless of his position. Maybe if it had a radio or MP3 player installed. Are they going to make umpires wear patent leather belts and shoes too? I can use a cane (padded with 0.5" of closed cell, slow recovery foam, of course) while working the bases but I can't use an indicator?!?
That's almost as funny as not allowing pleated base pants.
