Only in Kansas do they so narrowly define coaching as requiring some sort of verbal or physical activity. "Coaching" would also include watching the play; but I guess in Kansas, this part of coaching must be done while seated.

This is so easy it hardly bears stating.... But...
It's meant to let the coaches know they are allowed to stand to coach, not to stand up and work the officials.

I'd say the burden of proof falls on you to show there's more than one state that defines "coach" so narrowly.
