Even with a coach yelling "foul", an official still needs to make a determination whether the fouling players was making a legitimate play on the ball. Even if the foul occurs right after the coach calls for it, the player might still be trying to steal the ball or bat it away. Consider the action in light of the coach's directions. When a coach yells foul, though, you often end up with grabs or bumps that aren't attempts at the ball.
