Anita,
While it is true that there is a one minute time limit from the last out of one inning to the first pitch of
the next, it isn't enforced very often. There are a couple reasons I will enforce that rule.......The coach is being a pain all game, the team winning is trying to stall, and if the catcher or pitcher is just sitting on the bench and not moving to get on the field. In ASA, the batter is supossed to keep one foot in the batters box between pitches also, which I am also very lax on. These are rules to keep the game moving , and if it is needed, it will be enforced. With that said, there is nothing wrong with the coach being on the field between innings.
