No. Period. No reason for that coach to be in live ball territory, and certainly no reason to allow it.
If he claims no advantage, then there is no disadvantage to get back where he belongs. If he acknowledges an advantage, then it is obviously inappropriate. If he wants to give his catcher pitching signals, no problem; he may go closer to home plate OUTSIDE the fence to do that.
Beyond that, this is the hot button of many UIC's. Why allow it?
