When I was a line judge, I told the ball boys they could come all the way out to wherever I was to deliver or retrieve a ball. If I had to pinch in for a spot and needed a new ball, I didn't want him to have to heave the ball 20 yards to get it to me. I would occasionally get an over-zealous ball boy who would like to run it out to the umpire and I was usually fine with that if he was efficient.
