I've never had a problem with a bucket sitter, unless he opens his mouth to complain. I had a coach start screaming about a call at second from his bucket in live ball territory. Finally, after he wouldn't let it go, I forced him to move his bucket back inside the dugout. 1 1/2 innings later he casually came by and asked if he could go back to his bucket if he promised to keep his mouth shut. I agreed, glad that he got the point.
My strike zone is my strike zone. The only time it gets bigger is if the score is 38-0 and we are still in the 3rd inning! Then it may get wider, but not outrageously.
