No, you can't.

10.1.3A "Team A's coach (b) is in contact with an assistant coach in the press box via a headset. RULING: A team technical foul is charged in (b).

edit: I see part of the problem. This is in the 2014-2015 book, but has been removed from the 2015-2016 book.

In the 15/16 book 10.1.3a says they can relay info from up top to the bench. The comment also says electronic devices can be used for coaching purposes. I can see cell phones/ headsets being illegal but these days everybody has them (cell phone) and can email an assistant on the bench.

Removal from the book doesn't mean the rule was changed to make it legal. It just means they decided to put something else in that they felt was more important.

It's just a bad situation for the team that was put at a disadvantage. I mean really, what kind of person thinks to even do this and cheat teenage girls??

It's not cheating. Your team could have done the same thing. It's legal. What isn't proper is the new coach allowing the fired coach to, in effect, keep coaching. That beef, however, is for that school district to deal with.
