If it is only used for scorekeeping purposes I don't think it would be a violation. However if it was being used in some way to communicate with others or for some type of "coaching purpose" it would be in violation. If it was being used to retrieve stats for making coaching decisions, then it would be in violation, in my opinion.

If it were determined that it was being used for scorekeeping purposes only, then it would probably be a safty decision on allowing its use in the coaching box, and probably up to the association or UIC for the particular game.

All team personell are supposed to be in the dugout during a Fed game, but adult scorekeepers in my area are often allowed to be behind the fence next to their dugout. That makes it easier for the umpire to confirm the score between innings and keep them on the same page.
