A few years ago I had a JV coach at the end of the game yell to his players " foul him, FOUL HIM, FOUL HIM" and a kid ran from near foul line past the far foul line to push a kid into the first row of the stands.
I immediately called an flagrant foul and and tossed the kid. It was the coaches fault all the way, but there was no rule for the coach ( from what I knew ). I have no doubt the coach did not want the kid killed.
In this case I would connect the coach if there was a rule. But I agree, it would be used rarely.
