This is not something that is going to be addressed in the rule books nor should it be any concern of an umpire.
If the school district or league has any restrictions on who can coach and what they must do to qualify, this is on that entity to police those requirements.
If the umpire staff is expected to police that, the umpires need to have a serious talk with their association to go to those leagues and set this straight.
For comparison purposes.....should the umpires be asking every player prior to the game if they have the sufficient grades to be able to play in that game? Not our issue to deal with.
