By rule, is the coach allowed on the field between the end of the previous down and before the ready for play?

9.8.1 - No coach, substitute, trainer or other team attendant shall act in an unsportsmanlike manner once the officials assume authority for the contest. Examples are, but not limited to:
f. Holding an unauthorized conference. (Note: Between downs, communications between players and coaches near the sideline are not an unauthorized conference.)
9.8.3 - A nonplayer shall not be outside his team box unless to become a player or return as a replaced player. A maximum of three coaches may be in the coaches area.
By rule I would say no.

I still don't see a rule that restricts the coach to the coach's box before the ready for play. The Note under 9.8.1 seems to allow it.
