Coaches should know that and be mad at their own players for their stupidity. If a coach were to get mad at me, I'll just say "hey coach, you were there when I (or my partner) read the sportsmanship message before the game."
If you whacked a kid for giving you a high-five I don't believe the initial reaction from the coach will be to chew the player @ss. That's why I said, "Are you kidding?" I am not debating the validity of the T itself. I just can't see you not getting an ear full first.
