I do not understand how a coach can have their players give up an opportunity to get the ball back.

Intentionally fouling is not good coaching.

Good coaching or bad, we will disagree and this is an officiating board anyway. My point is that it is not, to my mind at least, anywhere near cheating. I would also add that it is not bad sportsmanship either.
