I won't draw lines with a bat or anything else.
If lines are present I will use them. If lines are not present, I'll use my judgment.
When batters obviously try to scrub out the lines, I declare "batter up" and begin the countdown in my head.
If they don't get the hint, I might suggest you call TIME, order the batter away from the box and go have a very brief discussion with the coach - something like this...
"Coach, the batter's box lines help me judge the proper position of the batter. Without those lines the size of the box is purely my judgment and I've noticed that I have a tendency to make the box smaller."
