I coach girls AAU, and I have a big pad that I use to bang around my post players. Why? The intent is to get them used to contact without actually hurting them, because they will be scratched, grabbed, slapped, etc. in the game and they still need to finish, with or without a whistle from the officials.

I would hope the coach in the OP was practicing against the extreme and not teaching it, but it sounds as if he/she is a dumb a55. I bet he has his kids hoisting up three pointers every other possesion.
