If followed, we cannot allow a potty break without a team warning. We sure can't suggest the coach leave the dugout.
I don't mean disrespect in my comment... I just find this a rule that doesn't need to be enforced.

Mike,
As I see it, the difference is that I am likely to see the coach in live ball territory, I am not likely to notice where a coach is who is not in live ball territory. As I am working a game, I am concentrating on what happens on the field. So, as I said, I am not likely to see where the coach is - but as always, if I see a violation, I deal with it.
