We know pre-game technicals are Indirect on the Coach and we know, to start the game, the ball becomes LIVE when the R tosses the ball in the air. We also know during any intermission period all team members are bench personnel.
Would that mean if A1 were to take a swing at B2 before the R tosses the ball, besides the Flagrant T issued to A1, the HC receives an Indirect T because A1 is actually bench personnel (even though he's legally on the floor as a starter waiting for the game to begin with the tip?)

Good one. I think so. A pre-game dunker is considered a non-player/bench personnel, so coach gets indirect T. I think this situation would be no different in terms of who gets assessed what.
