In non-competetive LL minors the coaches are allowed, if decreed by the local rules, to be in the field of play with their defensive team. Plus, you've got the variable of the pitching machine, or coach pitch. And, seeing that you always need an adult in the dugout, sometimes three coaches aren't enough.
That said, sitting on buckets outside the dugouts is never allowed in a properly run LL game. But this wasn't LL.
Whenever I'm asked to work at park that's new to me, I always make an advanced visit, to see how things flow. I'm not going to go in green, and start imposing Marshall Law, when it's clear that a lot of rules aren't being followed. I'd just be labeled a dope, and asked not to return.
Gotta know your audience.
