The only times I've ever seen this done, was during JV games where the officials were just trying to prove a point - its bogus. It makes us look bad, its not necessary - it negatively effects how people perceive us as officials. NOTHING POSITIVE COMES FROM IT. We don't need it.

Communication requires that someone listen. No matter how hard you try, there are some that simply are not going to listen. Nothing you do can make them listen.
If they choose not to listen, then the ball goes down. I probably average putting it down less than once per year...but there are times it needs to be done.

Now the above I agree with completely. It's just another call. If it happens, it happens; it doesn't make you a better or a worse official if you have to use the procedure.
