My guess is they meant to say the coach must wear the team cap unless he is wearing protective head gear, as they do not want bare heads in the coaches boxes. If I am right, why didn't they say it that way?

They didn't say it that way because it is specificially written in the rules that caps are required but when a helmet is used it replaces the cap as mandatory equipment.
"Caps and shoes are required equipment (no track spikes allowed). When a player is required to wear a head protector, it replaces the cap as mandatory equipment."
