Of course, you tow an automatic with the wheels up. Towing with the car off, wheels on the ground and the automatic in nutral is Bad for the auto transmission.
When you coast with the engine on and the car in neutral, the transmission fluid is still curculating bcause the engine and the electronics are on...
Just to add to what Mcrews said, if he coasts in neutral with the engines off, and the cars are not flat towable, damage can be done. U would have to look at the owners manual to find out it they are flat towable or not.

Does he coast with the engines running or off?

Like pretty much everyone has said, u can coast in neutral as long as the engine is still on with no issues, even if the car is not flat towable.
