We had a similar coaches dress code instance brought up at our local chapter meeting the other night. We have JV Varsity Double Headers and many times the JV coach is a base coach for the varsity. Some schools have different uniforms for the JV than the Varsity. The question was raised if the JV coach (wearing a varsity uniform, different uniform than his JV players) could enter the playing field. We were told that this is fine because the spirit of the rule is being met. The Fed rule is though very specific as to the pants a coach may wear though. Team uniform or coaching shorts/slacks or warm-up suits in school colors or colors of khaki, black, white or gray. no jeans or cut-offs. Any JV squad I have ever seen has had at least the same colors as the vasrity thus the team colors criterea is met in our situaton.
