Had To Be There ...

I can possibly agree with crosscountry55 that "clapping and yelling instructions" by the head coach probably shouldn't be considered distracting (guess that you had to be there).
The important concept that I take from this IAABO interpretation is that once the official deems this to be distracting (right or wrong), IAABO says that a distracting violation can be levied against an opponent on the bench.
Although I've warned a few times, I've only called this once in my forty year career. First half (opponent bench on same side of court as free throw shooter) of a high school age recreation league. Opponents on bench mercilessly verbally distracting (we called it disconcerting back in ancient times) free throw shooter. My call (shoot again) put an immediate stop to such nonsense.
