Use of Stopwatch

[blacktiger]

I think the intent of the rule is probably to prohbit the use of video in dugouts. I thought this was nitpicky as well. I coach softball as well and heard of story where a school was playing that had desegration students from St. Louis city going to school in the county. Late in a game a coached called for the taxis to pick up his players (this is normal procedure) and was questioned heavily by the umpires about his use of the phone. That sounds like another nitpicky situation.
