You came all the way over here for that?

It hardly warranted an automatic flag, hell, we aren't baseball umpires!!

FWIW, despite my handle (which has its origins in when I worked baseball), I was the HL, and I was near the sideline covering my huddle. While the response could have been calmer, and I could perhaps have walked him over to his huddle or the referee, I certainly wasn't going all the way across the field back to his sideline.
