I had a coach this past weekend who was physically hanicapped so that he needed a cane to walk. He told me it was a birth defect. He was hanicapped to the point where his speech was a little tough to understand, and he couldn't move well (he had players come beyond the hash at timeouts). I had no issue with him on the sidelines, and to tell you the truth, i welcomed it. For him, to be a head coach of a varsity team, deal with his disability, and have the fire that he had to coach his guys (not to mention really having a grasp of the rules, not many do), there was no way i would tell him any different then his non-disabled counterparts. If i did so, i would open myself up for liability. I agree, lets not go there.
