Wouldn't the coverage be improved by phasing the
antennas so as to maximize radiation toward the horizon?

Depends on the coverage you want. You want far away? Aim for the horizon.
You want 100-200 miles? Aim up.

NVIS is great for in-state communications.

However, the object of Field Day is to contact as many stations as possible.
Using a NVIS antenna will severely limit the number of stations which can be
contacted.
