You may be legally correct Your Honor, but there is alway jury nulification. If I were a betting man, I would bet dollars to donuts that if umpires let a coach in a wheelchair on the field and a player gets hurt, the jury will find against the umpires for letting the coach on the field. And no matter what the law says, the umpires responsibility is to the safety of the players and the to indulge the stupidity of a coach in a wheelchair.
I'll take that bet. Of course, I have more faith in a judge than jury.
