Coaching an intentional foul in such a way as to put the opponent at a significant disadvantage IMO is the definition of both FLAGRANT and UNSPORTSMANLIKE.

Wow! You almost convinced me that you are right when you used the [B]bold[B] and ALL CAPS...but I have a few more questions.
In the Fed rulebook I was unable to find a definition of flagrant. Am I wrong? What about NCAA, is it defined?
In every case that I could find in the fed, a flagrant foul resulted in an ejection. Should the coach be ejected in your opinion?
