In any of the above, does the coach have to sit?

In play 2, H1 is bench personnel until the R2 authorizes entry (not when the R2 whistles). Before the authorization to enter, H2 is on the court, card does not require coach to sit. After the authorization, H2 is bench personnel, card requires coach to sit.
