Even if the coach is standing, screaming "foul foul foul," and even if the coach wants his player to bear hug the opponent, his player may just be smart enough to make a legitimate play for the ball. You can't say that a player will always intentionally foul because his coach told him to any more than you can say that a player will never foul when his coach told him not to. Referee the play, don't make it automatic just because of what the coach is saying.
