Being a travelball coach is not the criteria. Restrictions are on talking to players and about them to their parents, guardians, etc. Colleges can talk to parents about other people's kids and can't talk to a TB coach about their kid. These restrictions vary by the college's sanction and the player's grade in school.
Many teams have a parent handing out profiles and talking to colleges during games, however they might not be able to discuss their own kid in the process. Same thing when a TB coach is talking to a college. In both cases, they usually refer them to a coach that can discuss their kid.
