Participants are allowed to have their registered coach behind them during their official matches. **During the match, the coach will be connected to the voice communication system and will only be allowed to talk to the players during tactical pauses and half times. The coach is not allowed to communicate in any other way including, but not limited to, shouting or non-verbal communication (e.g. touching) with players outside of the specified time windows. Any coach found to be in breach of the communications restrictions outlined in this section will receive one (1) warning from the referees. This warning stays in place for the duration of the event. If this rule is breached again, or the first instance is severe enough, the coach will be ejected from the game and forfeits their right to coach for the remainder of the match.** The administration team will pause the match for the duration of the removal and this pause is considered to be equal to a technical pause for communication purposes. Teams may be given a preemptive warning in case they are considered repeat offenders. In case of a preemptive warning, the first incident will result in the coach being ejected.

An ejected coach cannot be replaced via the coach substitution method laid out in 2.3.3 Coach substitutions in offline competitions in ESL Pro Tour CS Roster Restrictions. Warnings are logged by the tournament administration and may be reviewed for sanctioning purposes. If the incident has clearly and relevantly impacted the game, the consequences for the coach and/or the team will be accordingly more severe. _____________________________________________________________________________________________
**TLDR – According to the ‘ESL Pro Tour’ rulebook, TaZ should receive a warning.**

You’re leading 6-1 comfortably with a stable and growing economy, with timeouts left to take, and you decide to blatantly break the rules. It won’t change anything, but it’s just stupid to do.

Taz won’t get fined, but a stupid move regardless.

He can do it, but on tactical pauses, between rounds it’s against the rules.

That’s why Valve doesn’t let coaches interact with players between rounds

iirc that’s against the rules
Noup, probably will get fined.
That doesn’t look like it should be allowed. Idk if it is
He did it so blatantly wtf
I don’t think it is allowed
No, it’s forbidden and it could have some serious consequences for G2.
Taz is such an idiot
I think just a fine is enough.
Was he coaching or was he squashing a bug on the desk? *wink*
Champion mentality pushing the rules.
gaules 
Hard to prove these things.
