Do you make a call here?

Good point Chuck. If you look at the other things that fall under 2-7, not a single thing has a penalty. Not only that, they are just duties of what we do as officials. Not a single one has a consequence, not that there would be on, but there is nothing to support mosts arguement.

And if you look under at Rule 10, I do not see a single behavior that this would fall under really. I guess you could say 10-3-7, but other than assuming, there is nothing that supports this being a T or any penalty for that matter.

But what do I know, I do not know the rules.
