There have been cases like this in various sports across the country. I believe in all of them, the State got involved and came up with a solution Without the okay of the State association, I wouldn't allow him that close to the playing surface. As the father of a young man in a wheelchair, I know that it is too risky for the person in the chair, and much more risky for a person running into the chair.
On a lighter note, we did allow a coach to sit in the coaches box on an aluminum lawn chair (the old fashioned kind with the webbing). That was his style and he did it every game.
