This was discussed in a previous question and the reason it must be an USC foul is cuz otherwise it would result in a multiple foul situation and only one foul could be enforced. Having it be USC, it is enforced from the succeeding spot, giving us the "extra" 15 yards. That being the case, the contact part caused the original DPI, and the IPI was the "noncontact intent" which made it intentional.
This USC would have to be given to the player, not the coach, so he would have to be ejected by rule. Now, I still think this is mute point cuz I have asked every time the IPI comes up in a post, and no one has called it, or even seen it called before.
Snake-eyes, what are you going to say to the coach when you do not eject player #24, when he sees the USC signal on #24, and knows #24 already had a USC?
