I also agree this could easily be flagrant depending on circumstances.
I've had it happen exactly once - boy's JV holiday tournament 6 or 7 years ago. Team A was up by 3 with about 1:30 left in the 4th. B1's shot misses, A1 gets the rebound and makes outlet pass to A2 near the sideline who turns and heads up court on a fast break. As he passed B's bench the coach reached out and slapped the ball away.

I tossed the coach...
