Not completely. By this logic, is it fair to penalize the coach for something he has no control over? What if it's his first year?
And, FWIW, the players are penalized for this behavior by the technical foul. Giving two free shots and the ball to the other team.
I just want to be careful about this reasoning, as it leads some officials to withhold technical fouls that need to be called. "Well, I didn't want to penalize the kids in such a close game for the coach being an azz."
