That section, 10-3-2, says bench personnel shall not commit unsportsmanlike acts "which include but are not limited to"....

If I thought coach fouled a player on purpose i'd likely use 10-3-2i and eject. But if he just lost track of his location I'd just call it unsportsmanlike, give other team 2 shots and go to poi. (Arrow if shot missed). I don't have to fit it under a-i. I can just call it unsportsmanlike. Frankly, I'd like to see the play. If there really isn't much there I might not have anything.

Finally, a coach out of his box is supposed to get a warning and then if he is out again he gets class B. This is also an option. Just depends on what it looks like...
