 Rules =/= signals..its apples and oranges.  Many different umpires can legitimately differ/express preferences over signals, but ignoring rules is an entirely separate matter.

 True but how many times have you heard this, " I'm not gonna call that this is a (insert important game here)" Unfourtunately I have heard that WAY to much as of late. Just to add to that ... a majority of those umpire who wouldnt make a "tough call" or enforce a rule because of whatever game it is didn't signal or use the right signals or even  have a pre-game to discuss what they would want to use
