The coach can use his headset during a TO, whether near the sideline or in the middle of the field. However, if he handed it to a player then a foul has occured. 2005 NFHS Case book (Case # 3.5.7; pp 23) "During a charged time-out an official's time-out for heat/humidity, a TV/radio time-out, or the intermission between the first and second or the third and fourth periods, or following a try: the coach of B goes to the huddle of B and talks to an assistant via a headset he brought to the huddle; RULING: It is a legal conference, the players may not use the headset."
