Amongst her crying for everything under the sun, she proceeded to pester me with this question. I told her that if Daddy wants to help out the young Misses, I have no problems with it. As long as they aren't inciting riots, hollering at players, and/or disturbing the game, I'm not going to have a problem with it.
The only rule I could find relating to how many coaches was 10.5.2 stating "The head coach and assistant coach(es) must remain seated....." This leads me to believe that, in theory any way, there could be an infinite amount of coaches on the bench. Can anyone dispute this?

Dan R.,
I do not know of a rule limiting the number of coaches to start a game, although there are those rules that can make them go away by the end of the game.
I have had several teams with two Assistant coaches, who usually turn out to be the Frosh and JV coaches.
