Why not just have the signer stand one row up in the bleachers?

The signer is coaching and in order to pass along the head coach's instructions she should be more available to coach speak than a fan would be.
I officiated with a single deaf athlete in the past and although I was told there would be a signer, the signer remained in the bench area and seated. The athlete was, perhaps, a 1/2 second late on the whistle, but she was quite aware of the entire game surroundings. ...A fine point guard on a very good team.
