I can't imagine a coach would take it that far, either, but that does not mean you are not overstepping your authority.
You reference 3-6-1, well, that rule says, in part, "Team personnel shall wear or use legal and/or required equipment."
Wear or use
It does not say anything about hanging in a bag in the dugout, nor does it say that all equipment not intended to be used in the game must be kept out of sight.
