Is it legal for the people in the lead/ pace vehicle to coach competitors from the vehicle during a race.
I saw that at a weekend meet and thought that it was at least not good form and potentially worthy of a DQ.

Am I correct in assuming it was coaches from school hosting the meet coaching from the pace vehicle?
Regardless, not sure there's really a rule against it, or bad form. I've never really thought a coach can do much to influence the result during a race anyways, so doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
A lead vehicle would be really heavy. Plus it would be soft, so hard bumps would damage it.

9/10
There's nothing in the NCAA rules that prohibit this explicitly other than providing aid to athletes or interfering with the competition. It's up to a coach at another school to know the rules and complain.
