I agree, and there will be no exceptions. And I am not concerned about the communications as much as I am the bulkiness and danger to others should they get involved in a play. If it is small, like a cell phone, pager, etc. they can keep it in their pocket where the umpire cannot see it. If it goes off and they need to respond, that individual
may elect to leave the field and respond accordingly.
I deal with police, firefighters and EMTs all the time on the field. If the need to have communications equipment, someone on the bench can monitor it while
they elect to enter the field.
If they have a problem with that, I guess they shouldn't have planned to be on the field while they were working.
