Coaches Can a coach still be on the floor during level 3 floor exercise?

My understanding is that there is no deduction for a coach on the floor unless a spot occurs. Is this correct?

I have an athlete that likes someone "close" for her tumbling. Thanks!

Correct, no deduction at the compulsory levels for just standing on the floor.

When do they start taking deductions? Level 6 or 7? I couldn't find it in the rules.

The deduction starts at Level 6. It falls under general deductions and is .5 (regardless of the amount of time the coach is on the floor) taken by the Chief Judge.
