1) In your judgment, Coach B actually touched the ball while it was still over the playing court.
2) In your judgment, Coach B touched the ball while it was over the out-of-bounds area.

Both cases are an easy T if a player from Team A has a chance to play the ball.
Sitch 1 is a T, regardless. Just my 2 cents

Chuck,
I can agree with throw-in to A in situation 1, but not a "T" unless the ball was intentionally grabbed in an unsporting act.
In situation B, even with A having a chance to save, if we replace legally placed Coach B with Fan A, Fan B or Fan E, I can see
ball to B.
What way could we possibly rationalize a difference between a bench participant and a fan, all legally located? In baseball, we can penalize a base coach for not moving, but I see no corresponding rule in hoops.
