The best protocol is to not pick out one sentence in the book and OOO it to death. I cant even ever remember making this call.
On the other hand, I wouldnt have warned a team "numerous times" about anything. And you certainly dont call an out twice.
I think this umpire needs a lot of training and a mea culpa may be in the works.
