The clever center sees that away and knows that if the coach is on the court it is an automatic T on the coach, so he stops posting up and sprints 40' toward the unsuspecting coach, play reaching the coach just as he is turning around to step off the court, smashing the coach back into the chair . . . T on the coach?!?!? . . .

I'm gonna say no. Anybody that would consider this "strategy" would probably also try the old "send our worst player to pick a fight with their best player" trick.
