I certainly think his actions do come under the definition of flagrant. 4-19-4 "... A flagrant foul may be a personal or technical foul of a violent or savage nature,
or a technical noncontact foul which displays unacceptable conduct. ..."
Since the coach did not touch the player, and the coach is a nonplayer, I have a foul by a nonplayer, which 4-19-5a says is a technical foul and since I consider illegally interfering with the game unacceptable conduct to me it meets the above definition of flagrant. He's gone.
Ask yourself this, what would you do to a random fan who did this as he walked by the court? I don't think any of us would hesitate to have the fan removed from the gym. Why? Because that conduct is unacceptable.
