We had a game that we were winning by one with four seconds on the clock and the opponent inbounding at 1/2 court. We had three fouls to give so I told me kids to go all out and take a shot at a steal on the first inbound attempt and then try to swat the ball after a dribble or two on the next two attempts. Result: 1st attempt, insane pressure on inbounding team, we steal game over.
They say it's what you emphasize, so why not emphasize steal attempt that results in a foul if you don't get it.

Its an interesting question coach. What I think is interesting is that in the sitch from other post if the coach had yelled GO after the Ball, get the Ball, Got get him or any variation, he would not have picked up the intentional.
But you are right the kids should go hard after the ball, they may force a turn over and at worse they get a foul called on them (and that's what they wanted in the first place)
I know there are even a lot of coaches who have a code word like Red that means go foul without yelling foul..
