NFHS rules don't say the head coach has to be in contact with the bench. It says,
Bench personnel shall not:
Stand in the team bench area while the clock is running or is stopped, and must remain seated
If 10-5 isn't in play, then the coach has to remain SEATED except for exception 10-4-4b, c, & d.
