OK, but what about rule 9-8-2, which states:
Three attendants, none of whom is a coach, may enter the field to attend their team during a charged time-out or a TV/Radio timeout, during the one minute following a try, a successful field goal or safety, and prior to the succeding free kick, between periods and during an official's time-out for unusual heand and humidity.
Sounds to me like coaches ARE NOT allowed on the field during these heat and humidity timeouts.

How many times are we going to beat this poor horse to death??
YES, COACHES CAN COME ON THE FIELD DURING A HEAT/HUMIDITY WATER BREAK!!!
Page 75 of the case book, 9.8.1 D covers this. If that isn't enough, page 40 of the rule book, 3-5-7 & 8, especially, 3-5-8, says that an authorized conference can occur during a heat/humidity break. 9-8-2 is in place to prevent a coach from acting as an attendant in addition to the one coach that is allowed on the field during those time outs.
