WMB,
I see your point as far as preventing any potential problems and personally don't have a problem with wanting cell phones off the field.
But, to paraphrase from your post, I want to keep personal opinion out of my game management. How would you respond if you asked a coach to leave the cell phone behind and he refused based on Case Play 3.6.10(A)?
Besides nearly fainting because a coach referenced a specific Case Play, you would seem to now be painted in a corner. If you then allow the device it makes it look like you were uncertain of the rule (your credibility takes a hit) or that you are overstepping your bounds (being an overly-officious official).
I'm all for leaving the cell phones in the dugout, but since they are not banned I'm uncomfortable with asking the coaches to remove them.
