NFHS "Charge an umpire"

NFHS rulebook says in Rule 3-3.j "A coach, player, subsititute [...] shall not 'charge an umpire' "

Penalty is a warning (Verbal or written) or ejection if umpire deems it a major offense.



So coaches "charge" out of their box or dugout all the time to complain about a call... should I immediately prepare a warning and then either delivery the warning or ejection (depending on what is said/actions/etc)? Many times i see the coach just argue with the umpire, not say any key words, and then march back all pissy without any warning at all.

"Charge" is by definition "move quickly and with impetus".

I have a feeling this will fall, again, under the "dont enforce every rule" which has been told to me on about 5 occasions when i ask... i guess I maybe get too literal with the rules on some points. Still learning.
