From your descriptions I believed this coach was a supreme jerk trying to interfere with the players. But then on watching the clip I saw that what he is is someone treating the players like morons, showing them, "Do like this! And keep doing like this!" and was not facing the thrower-in. Nevertheless, it seems his team may have gained an advantage by his actions, and officials should've done something in advance to give the thrower-in space from him. He could've taken a giant step backward and still been able to do his jumping jacks gesture without being in the way of the throw. But if no official made him do it, I don't like the presumption that he should've known better. If the touch was seen, inasmuch as basketball doesn't allow advantage play in general, how can you not stop play?
