And although coach is not really "IN" the box, coaches stand outside it, behind it, in front of it, all the time. He wasnt blocking my view, etc.

I keep 1B coaches away from 1B if they are stealing signs or not. If I am U1, I want a clear shot at the plate to see check swings, where the ball is etc. If the coach wants to leave the box, as you say "north or south", I don't care if no one else does.

But that space between the box and the baseline is MINE. It's my viewing lane. While I have no problem with teams and coaches stealing signs (hey, if they can do it, more power to them-it's part of the game), I would have moved him for MY reasons, not because of his sign stealing.

"Hey coach, need for you to stay back. I need to be able to see the plate. Thanks."

He said the coach was not blocking his view.
