Its not OOO to get the buckets where they belong,, back in the dugout, or under a faucet. Where did all this start? And why? Its not allowed in live ball territory in Fed, and you sure wont see it in College. So why at the youth level. If coach needs to give signs he can give em the way they have always been given. Now your starting to see variations of the bucket... little fold out chairs, etc.....no need.
When I first started, the guy who mentored me always said the following at the plate meeting (youth ball) "...and guys, no buckets, benches, barrels, or barcaloungers, you and your coaches, can come out, no further than the end of your dugout...." etc... Always got a slight smile from the coaches, and never had a problem....
That worked for him. On the occasion I do youth ball, its a quick mention at the plate meeting, and never a problem. Here in So Cal, the bucket brigade is starting to go away. Dont see it much anymore, as it seems more officials are moving em out...
