By the way, here's another rule we don't much care for, in fact, it is a huge joke among veteran umps here:
The option of restricting the coach to the dugout instead of ejecting him. Nobody in our association (which, by the way, is one of the oldest, and most respected nationwide) would even consider restricting the coach. Please tell me you have never restricted a coach to the bench!

As David has already said, there is a good reason for this rule. As I have said before, if one underdsands why the NF makes its rules, they aren't weird.

One of the oldest, most respected associations nationwide? Now in my games when I hear the coaches say "I wish we had those good umpires from that associatin in San Diego", I know what they mean.
