Welcome to the board, Geoff.

No contact has occured between opponents, so the only foul can call is fighting, which is a flagrant technical foul, penalized by ejection, 2 free throws for the opposing team, and possession to them as well.

Is fighting limited, by rule, to between opponents? Yes, according to R4-S18-A1,2.

Then call it an unsporting act -- this can also be flagrant and isn't limited to being between opponents.

In one of the recent POEs, there was an example of a coach berating his players or using foul language -- ruling: T.

Use this as a precedent.
