While I don't rigorously (i.e. check my timer) enforce the 1 minute, I do use the rule. I have disallowed ANY warmups, or limited them to 1, when teams lollygag around, whether it is the catcher not being ready, or the coach wanting to have a team meetings, or the pitcher just screwing around,.. whatever. I've never had any griping about it, either. I give some leeway if the catcher was on base or at bat, but she'd better be making visible effort to hurry.

The reason is not to get the game over sooner - these are timed games - the reason is to give the players more playing time within the time limit.
