I can't seem to find any refference to defensive coaches intereference for unintentionally being hit with a live ball. Of course he shouldn't have been allowed to stand where he was, but it happened just the same.

IMO, there's a difference between being "allowed" to stand there and being "authorized" to stand there.
Warn the team, and award bases if the ball would have gone OOB.
