Same here, coach has to stay in the box to communicate with me. It sounds as if coach walked past the scorers table to make the request. Hard to say what one would do unless they're in that situation, but maybe I'd hit the whistle, warn coach & put her back in the box, then grant the TO since we have a dead ball.
FTR, when the trap is on officials should be anticipating a TO request & occasionally glancing in coaches direction (especially on a 3 person crew).
I don't know if the L & T were tableside or opposite but the new L has got to be aware. Probably not much to referee in the FC when trap is on in the BC, JMO.
