You're that guy too then. You're the guy that when dressed in a baseball/softball umpire outfit, insists on approaching a pitcher after they've warmed up and saying, "See that guy on 1st and that guy on 3rd? You have runners on first an third. There's one out. The temperature is about 82 degrees and the wind is about 8 mph out of the south-southwest."
Don't Be That Guy.

But does anybody know of anything written anywhere which says to do this at the start of the 4th quarter? And as a lesser side note, if there is such a requirement, it sounded like a duty of the R, which he was not.

No, not a rule. Definitely. But what your annoying partner did and what you said you do are only different by degrees. Both are still wrong.
