I do remind the coaches of younger teams of the "1B occupied and less than 2 outs" rule and encourage them to communicate with their catchers.
Require? I will say "Strike Three - batter out" if the situation warrants that. Otherwise, I just call "Strike Three". I then call the batter out when they walk into dead ball territory.
