Our own catcher was afraid to throw down to third in a similar situation as there were 5 coaches all standing within 5 feet of the 3rd base.

The kid has a cannon for an arm. She was afraid she would kill one of those coaches.
At this facility both benches are on the same side of the field. There is only about 4' of foul territory on either side of the field. It is impossible to see the plate from inside the dugout. Both offensive and defensive coaches typically will stand outside their respective dugout to view the plate and send signs, whether it be to the batter or catcher.
We all try to be a small as possible, but it's easier for some than others.
