Ahem,
"You must work in ball parks that have a silence rule. If anything is crucial, it is the dead ball signal."
I am currently working my 40th NFHS season . . . blah, blah, blah . . . and over 4,000 games . . . blah, blah, blah. . .
AND NOT ONCE have I ever seen an umpire give the NFHS "Delayed Dead Ball" signal. We teach to point, comment, and move on to the remainder of the play.
Regards,
