There is no need to worry about whether the player was standing or not, this is blatant unsportsmanlike conduct.

I didn't say anything about a player standing. I asked what you would do if the head coach touched the ball while the head coach was legally standing in his coaching box. In the other thread, you said that you would give the other team the ball under similar circumstances(fan instead of coach). Would you do the same here? And if not, please cite a rule why you wouldn't.
