Please note FED and OBR differences since both rulebooks aren't too clear on the subject. I know FED has the clause about loose equipment, but would that apply here?

Thanks!
Common sense says keep them in the dugout.

But, if the play you described happened because you allowed it ...

1) If it hits the coach you might have a situation (depending on whether you determine it was intentional or not)

2) Same as #1

Now by rule you have options:

I don't have my book but it gives you the option of calling an (out), or returning runners etc.,

But I would only recommend that if you think it interfered with another play or was intentional.

Thanks
