That is nothing more than a blind assumption with little to no evidence to back it up, but that's not important. I realize the OP is about ASA, but since NCAA has been mentioned, I wasn't sure if Mike was speaking code specific or umpiring in general.

I'm speaking in a general manner. The purpose of this rule is purely game control that need not be a "gotcha" especially led to it by the opposition.

I am certainly not calling a ball and a crap throw back to the pitcher.
But it does raise an interesting issue that spreads throughout these threads like cancer. It's the case of, "You don't know what the intent was so just call the play according to the book. Who are you to ignore a rule or apply it however you want? Oh, but by the way, I can do that because it's me and not you, so ha."

This is why clinics exist - to allow the national organizations disseminate information uniformly. It also helps people here that we have more than one person who are in those rooms when these things are discussed - we get it first hand.
