Mike, are you sure about those rule numbers? In my NFHS 2007 rule book, 9-1-5 doesn't exist and 9-2-2 deals with the runner grasping a teammate. I think you cited NCAA rules here and I'm looking for Fed support. 9-2-2- in NCAA is very clear, if they are in the restricted band you can us the SL. But 9-2-2 for NCAA deals with unfair tactics so I'm not sure which code you are citing.

For Fed, I've only found
9-4-2: No player or nonplayer shall intentionally contact an official
9-8-3: A nonplayer shall not be outside his team box unless to become a player or to return as a replaced player. A maximum of three coaches may be in the coaches' area.

I'm looking for rule support for a coach getting in my way while he is legally one of 3 coaches in his box and I'm working with my toes on the sideline. I'd love to have a rule that says if they don't get out of my way there is a foul, but I can't find rule support for it.
