coach yelling for players to foul

This year (I think), FED rescinded that -- the coach's language does not determine the type of foul. The player's actions determine the type of foul.

Could not agree more... It's also about "rewarding" good play, in a way. A skillful player will try to get the ball and in the process he/she may commit a foul. On the other side of the spectrum is a brainless two-legged monster who will almost tackle the nearest opposition player, and who will have to be punished for this with "the Capital X", as someone has called it.
