This does not mean what you think it does. I can tell you difinitively that we (Colorado officials or the CHFAA organization) do not interpret this rule as you do. No attempt is made to define coaching in such a limited way. This phrase is simply there to differentiate between coaching and whining to the officials.
I do know Iowa has, at least in the past, agreed with you with regard to kneeling. I can definitely see some basis for agreement on that issue.
But to try and say "coaching" must be "active" and include talking or gesturing? That's someone at a very high level on a power trip.
