Frankly, if the coach is on the court, it's on him to stay out of the way. If the play is designed so that the coach's position actually inhibits the offense, I'm getting the T on the coach. If the player intentionally runs into the coach, I may just pass on it, but I'm not getting the player for a T when all he's doing is running where he's allowed to run.
I there are two main reasons we don't see it.
1. The coach is paying more attention to his surroundings than we give him credit for, and he gets out of the way. In fact, most times, they aren't on the court when their team is on defense in front of them.
2. It's a bush-league move.
