Yes---this is tough to watch. I have several times gone to "said umpires" after the game with my rule book in hand and show them the actual rule. Only one time did they not appreciate it. I do not do it during a game because I feel that would be very uncouth.

That or coaches that yell time and start walking toward their pitcher, not waiting for me to call TIME, before play has completely stopped.

Yes.......I give about 4 in the very first inning and after that they get one. I mean they've already thrown a bunch --- it isn't going to get better. lol
