Well, the third sentence isn't everything because while we can, and there's no ethical reason not to do something we want, because at worst we're cheating the AI, while I "cheat" occasionally and I'm sure many others do, anyone who doesn't set a limit to their cheating will get bored really quickly because they'll win way too easily.
I'd agree though that a way to not feel like it's cheating is to make the coach "you" and then give him whatever contract with your team you want.
Generally, if you can do it without being in commissioner mode and without intentionally crashing the program (as in "I lost this game; I'll crash the program so it doesn't save and I can try it again") then it's not a cheat. At most it can be an exploit, and from reading the board not just I but also others tend to come up with "house rules" about what we allow ourselves to do, or disallow, in terms of exploits.
