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?

MJT,
ALL GREAT POINTS! I agree with you 100% After reading the other thread it gave the question that I posted. I since went through the rulebook and you have a dead ringer on this one. Also I never really thought about it much but I have seen it called once at the end of a game where it was clear the last play of the game the DB killed the WR before the ball got there. The penalty did not help on the untimed down the pass was incomplete...
