Note "if action is relaxed."

Agreed. Action was relaxed, but the coach wandered onto the field unbidden and without requesting time, so I wasn't inclined to help him out.

I thought about dealing with his "wandering," but since he walked out, talked mainly to his players, didn't make an a$$ of himself, and left promptly after I denied the (eventually properly constituted) appeal, I decided it would have come across as antagonizing. Probably still should have reminded him that he can't come out without requesting "time." It would have been better had my partner handled that, but oh well.
