The next pitch he does the same thing and the PU calls time and says "You're making a mockery of the game by doing this and if you do it again, you're outta here." Brief argument from the O coach ensued but nothing major.
So, is the PU allowed to do this? If this happened in one of your games, how would you have handled it?

I'm assuming these were younger kids, kids that shave( i like the new term)
would probably be more subtle.
They'd accomplish the same thing swinging at their toes when the ball was a bit closer and be just as obvious.
I'd have a hard time doing anything besides laughing.
Heck, we're always bragging about our quickest games and now one of us is telling the coach to slow it up.
