I agree, it used to be in the LL rules when my son was playing. On the positive side I am sure the umpire is being over-cautious for safety sake, which is not so bad. On the negative side, I still see some officials making up rules at the HS level. Maybe not this one but there are some.
I was just told the other day how two runners were both on the same base and the umpire called them both out when tagged, on the base. True story.
