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.

Wrong.
This simply means that during an authorized conference, a coach cannot come on the field masquerading as an attendant.
3-5-8
An authorized conference may be held during a charged time-out or an official's time-out (
7h, 7l and 7m only).
3-5-7
An official's time-out occurs during a dead ball without a time-out being charged to either team:
h. For unusual heat or humidity which may create a health risk to the players.
