Coleman happy to escape with point
Sean O'Driscoll's men dominated the match at the Keepmoat Stadium from start to finish, but were unable to create a clear goalscoring chance despite their free-flowing and forward-minded football.
The stalemate means Coleman's side remain unbeaten, having won their first two league games, but the former Fulham boss is all too aware they will have to play a lot better if they are to maintain their position at the top end of the table.
"They're a good team, I'd pay money to watch Doncaster play, but it's a point gained for us and two lost for them," he said after the match.
"In the first half, we were poor. Too many of us with under-par performances and we were too frivolous with possession but thankfully the back four held firm and kept their efforts at distance.
"Kieren Westwood's pulled off some good saves, but that's a point gained for us."
For O'Driscoll, in front of nearly 9,500 fans, it was another frustrating night as his team were held to a third successive draw despite running the Sky Blues ragged for 90 minutes.
Skipper Brian Stock came closest with long range efforts either side of half-time, but too often Doncaster's efforts on goal were from outside the Coventry area.
"It was a sparkling performance," Sean O'Driscoll said. "We dominated from start to finish apart from putting the ball in the back of the net.
"If it wasn't for Westwood we would have been two or three goals up, but we've shown what we're capable of and hopefully we can that into next week.
"We're still a bit work in progress, trying to get the right balance with the players we've got and every point in this division is precious for us.
"We're not a Championship team yet, we've just earned the right to play here and as long as we keep that focused in our minds, then being unbeaten after three games isn't too bad."
The home fans thought Dean Shiels had earned a penalty after 20 minutes after he broke free from midfield and into Coventry's penalty area with a darting run.
Sky Blues skipper Stephen Wright was the last man and coming from the left-back position he met the Northern Ireland international shoulder to shoulder, however the referee, Carl Boyeson saw it as a fair challenge.
The half-time soon followed and the second period continued in the much the same vain with Doncaster continuing to dominate.
James Coppinger, who was replaced by Quinton Fortune 10 late in the second half, had a decent effort, as did James Hayter and Shiels, but the were all dealt with formidably by Westwood.
And with stoppage time showing on the scoreboard, it was Stock again who had the game's final chance, blasting a shot from the edge of the area narrowly over the bar.
