Had several plays where players were being tackled within a few yards of this coach.
Obviously he has a right to be there and to coach, but what is the best way to handle the obvious safety issues, not only for the coach but also for the players?

Safety always comes first.
Always.
As 43 refers, the incident in Canada had the compromise that showed the disabled person was not discriminated against.
