Against my better judgement I'll answer this...

From the JEA, rule 7.11:
    On unintentional interference by persons authorized to be on the field but not members of the offensive team, the ball shall remain alive and in play. On intentional interference by these employees, the ball is dead; and the umpire shall impose such penalties as will nullify the interference.

    A "kick" is penalized as intentional interference whether it actually was considered to be intentional or not. This applies to non-playing, authorized personnel only.

Freix
I would consider base coaches as "non-playing, authorized personnel..". I don't think the intention of that note, placed as it was under OBR 7.11, was merely trying to draw a distinction with personnel covered directly under OBR 3.15 such as cameramen, police, ball boys, etc. Rather I think it was meant to distinguish base coaches et al from players, who might otherwise be covered in the provisions of OBR 7.09 and elsewhere.

As you are often wont to say, Just My Opinion.
