Trouble? Not in the games I work, trust me. I don't work D1, MiLB, or MLB, though.

In the original sitch, believe me that the visual and aural displays by coach were huge and loud.

The only reason I missed the kick of the ball bucket was because I was hustling back to "D," thinking the contretemps was over.

It's also small ball [pause for you to come up with pejorative thoughts], plus "dugouts" were at ground level.

I know few umps, at any level, who would have totally ignored this display, IMHO.
