Bad idea. Are you going to issue the coach a flagrant technical foul for not mastering the rules or for not teaching them to his/her players? Are you going to issue a flagrant technical foul for not exerting his influence when the spectators show bad sportsmanship? Are you going to issue a flagrant technical when the coach is not working closely with the cheerleaders?

Those are all things that are part of the coaches' code of ethics. If you're not going to give a flagrant T for all of them, why would you give a flagrant T for yelling at an opposing player?

Scrapper, I never said I was going to give a flagrant in the OP. I was just disagreeing with BITS premise that we treat the coach and the player in the same manner.
