Yes, I was working fromthe 2012 RIM. My book is not in front of me right now.
So, the hard copy just has the reference in Section XIV. Reading just that, I would infer that LL always permits coaches on the field in Minors. Though I still have yet to see it.
I wonder how my board would decide a protest over this issue.
