If a player has a good chance to save the ball, and the coach is right on the sideline and makes absolutely no effort to get out of the way and ends up interfering with that play, I'm giving the ball back to the other team. I'll use 2-3. If it's his team however, then he deserves to loose the ball for getting in the way. I'll guarantee you though that the coach is gona be a-ducking'n'weaving if it's his player trying to save the ball. And if the ball is on the in-bounds side of the line when it hits the coach, he's getting a "T"- even if his feet are completely OOB.
That's what I'd do. Mileage may vary.
Now, Rich, where do you stand on the ball hitting a fan standing partially on the court while a player was dribbling it in-bounds? Would you give it to the other team too?
