How to foul at the end of the game is very coachable. Every year that I have coached, about once a week for about 15 minutes I've had my team practice how to foul at the end of a game.

Basically, I tell them to just use poor defensive technique. You use bad technique and you are going to foul. So, instead of keeping the feet active, hands active and not reaching, keep the offensive player in front and the such, I just tell them go ahead and slap at the ball, slow those feet up and if the guy gets by you slap at the ball again. You play defense like that and the result is going to be either a steal or a foul. Your still playing defense and trying to get a steal, but your are just playing technically poor defense.

As far as the verbiage, I don't know how else you can word it other than fouling to stop the clock.
