Had this in a BV, and I warned them....Coach who had attended either Evans' or Wendelstedt's school said they could do what they wanted with the ball, as long as they didn't delay, and around the horn is normal after a strikeout.
I didn't feel that right, but I had no specific knowledge at the time, so I let it pass.

You didn't
feel it was right but had no specific knowledge at the time. So why did you warn them? What basis did you use?
This is not ridicule but here is another example of umpires making up rules. This is what gets us into trouble, all the time. We are there to officiate
by the rules as written in the rule book. We do not officiate by our feelings.
