Yes, the coaches can tell their teams to go out and head-hunt, or to play nice. And there are many coaches who teach dirty tactics, to gain an advantage, hoping the refs don't notice or call it.

Isn't your first statement contradictory to the other two? I think coaches have much more "control" over the contact on the floor than the officials. Even if we call a ton of fouls, if a kid wants to injure another kid, he's gonna do it.
Also, you're idea that the teams don't always play the way the coaches want them to doesn't really hold up. If a player is playing the opposite of how his coach wants, the coach will pull him.
