Not me, at least not anymore! If you knew this, why'd you ask? And if you're a ref (as per your moniker), why'd you assume that was the correct way to enforce it, rather than assume the crew were idiots. This isn't one of those obscure rules that people have to go look up. This is a basic principle of how to mark off penalties.

(PS - could you really see the difference between the 3 and the 4 from the bleachers?)
