awaring a base

Would the coach position inside or outside the coaches box have any bearing on this ruling?

Once again, Tee can correct me if I'm wrong:

No, since it is okay to be outside the box, as long as the other manager does not complain, and request the base coach to actually occupy the box itself. It is also common practice for base coaches to be out of the box when signaling to the runners during a play, provided they don't interfere in any way.
