Their favorite excuse is that it's "good game management" ("bush league" works too ). Jmo, but I think those kind of officials are in the wrong avocation.

Whatever philosophy works for you, knock yourself out. The OP was about pet peeves, I offered mine, that's all.

This board is very interesting. I get great information and insight about rules and interpretations. It also shows how officials from different parts of the country have their own nuances.
