I would have hanlded it exactly the same as the official on the game did. It is the coach's responsibility to know the rules associated with the game and his selected strategy. This is an example of a coach thinking that he has come up with a clever way to prevent the clock from starting and is going to benefit from fouling. How silly of this coach to not realize that he obviously isn't the first to have this thought and that those who write the rules make them such that this kind of strategy doesn't pay. This coach got exactly what he deserved--a harsh lesson.
