You will not find a rule that specifically states that when a coach yells to one of his players, in a manner for the officials to hear, that he wants them to foul an opponent that this is an intentional foul. But the fact remains that if the player immediately fouls an opponent it should be called an intentional foul because the contact fits the definition of an intentioinal foul.
