If RKB is trying to help his daughter coach, then why not be with her as much as possible; maybe help clarify a plate conference item. If she accepted the BOO call, then she apparently need his help with rules.
There are games when it is better for more than one coach to hear the ground rules, time limits, etc.
Did the ump only half hear the "head coach must attend" rule? Not an excuse, just another case of mislearning (is that a word?)

I personally don't have a problem with multiple coaches at the pre-game, as long as they stand there and are quiet.
When these "extras" start carrying on extensive conversations with everything that is put out during the ground rules, run limits, time limits, etc., is when I have a concern. After all, if they're the ones asking all the questions for clarification, then they should be the ones representing the team as head coach, and let the newbies stand quietly and learn.
