Coaches get to stay with athletes in iso until the competition starts, but can't go out and back in again. They are also not allowed to shout any advice while the athletes are climbing.
It's interesting to see how different sports handle coaches. Some can't help at all. Others are basically micromanaging their team. It does come across as somewhat arbitrary when you're watching them all together like this, even though each sport is basically making a logical decision about what its regulatory body thinks is best for their specific sport.
