Sitting beyond coaching box line

I don't think it would be a bad thing but it's the problem solver.

I like your idea Josh. Maybe I'll bring a big one, and instruct all the players and coaches to use it too.

I don't know if I would go as far as have the players and coaches do it but I usually have a bottle that I use at halftime and after the game in the locker room (in case a sink is not available).

Since I work at the state health lab I feel obligated to say that washing your hands is better than using hand sanitizer. Washing is less harsh on the skin tissue. But I use hand sanitizer when I can't get to a sink.
