This topic has nothing to do with administrative duties, observing warmups or HS rules. It is about the game time being delayed becaus the visitor is late or because one team does not get "warmups" done expeditiously. Starting time is not life or death, but delays keep umpires and others from completing the game on time; especially if the umpires have subsequent games or one tema has some kind of curfew. Bus drivers knowing the way is no excuse, the AD or HC is responsible for getting the team there or scheduling the game more appropriately.
The other issue is whether there is value in the home team "warmup" at the last instant or at the scheduled time with some off-field throwing to stay loose.
