I've personally flown a power off 180 with an instructor who is a DPE (the one who gives pilots license tests) and who has been in planes since he was in the Air Force in Vietnam days. The request was a short approach, nothing more. I did that same maneuver later with another less experienced instructor and their request when asking me to do that maneuver is to turn immediately I was actually going to glide further for a better approach and was told no, get to the runway first.
I'll look it up later just because I'm curious but I've never heard of such a thing. These bad ATC people don't help their reputation, because good controllers can almost do art with how they manage planes.

Could you explain it like I took a failed pharmaceutical for a donut?
