I'm ok with Freeze as an analyst. Someone said that analysts can help players during the offseason while coaches can not.

Coaching Activities

11.7.1.1.1 Countable Coach.
An athletics department staff member must count against coaching limits as soon as the individual participates (in any manner) in the coaching of the intercollegiate team in practice, games or organized activities directly related to that sport, including any organized staff activity directly related to the sport.

11.7.1.1.1.1 Non coaching Activities.
Institutional staff members involved in non coaching activities (e.g., administrative assistants, academic counselors) do not count in the institution's coaching limitations, provided such individuals are not identified as coaches, do not engage in any on- or off-field coaching activities (e.g., attending meetings involving coaching activities, analyzing videotape or film involving the institution's or an opponent's team), and are not involved in any off-campus recruitment of prospective student-athletes or scouting of opponents. A noncoaching staff member with sport-specific responsibilities may not participate with or observe student-athletes in the staff member's sport who are engaged in non organized voluntary athletically related activities (e.g., pick-up games). (Adopted: 1/16/93; Revised: 1/10/95, 12/13/05, 4/27/06 effective 8/1/06)

11.7.2.1.1 Weight or Strength Coach. 
A weight (strength and conditioning) coach may conduct flexibility, warm-up and physical conditioning activities prior to any game and prior to or during any practice or other organized activities without being included in the limitations on number of coaches.
