That penalty exists when the coach is warned not to back and defiantly does so. McClelland has stated that the crew did not believe that the "No, No" that the PU managed to get out before Mattingly crossed the mound was sufficient for that penalty.

The umpires knew the rule and the different penalties and made a decision. You may disagree with how they interpreted the situation, but you cannot accurately claim they did not know the rule.
