Using your same logic, it's a T if the ball hits the coach while he's sitting on the bench?

The difference is that in Mark's exmaple, Coach B made an effort to touch the ball. I don't care if he's in his coaching box. The ball hitting the coach in not an intentional act.
IOW, Coach B deliberately acted to interfere with A's bonified attempt to recover a live, inbounds ball.
Technical foul (aka option 2).
What if A2 could tip it back to A3, near the sideline and with no other player nearby to intercept the ball, and A is down by 1 with 7 seconds to go?
