I always get a little irritated when a coach or player says, "The umpire in the last game let us do it." True or not, I still don't what to hear it.
I haven't read an OBR rule book in a while, but I don't think this stance is exactly covered in it.

Sometimes that works, but for me I just balk it. In my experience kids don't learn anything from warnings.
