Can't yell Foul

IT MAY OR NOT BE PREMEDITATED

When Coach B tells B1 to foul an opponent and B1 immediately fouls A1, that foul is premeditated. And a premeditated foul is an intentional foul.

--reread what you wrote. This does not follow logically.

And just because the coach wants player to do something doens't mean player will. Or planned to. But your point is taken. In your scenario I am more much more likely to call Intentional and will be looking for it--But if the contact doesn't warrant it what are you going to do? When I used to coach I taught the same as Hawks coach wrote. When you need to foul to stop the clock go for the ball hard. What are you going to do if the player ends up stealling the ball without contact/or just incidental contact. Coach asked for a foul--are you still going to give it to him?
