This topic comes up a couple times a year. I called it once in a B-V game. Defensive player punched a long rebound upcourt to a teammate on a fast break. I hit the whistle out of instinct. The whole gyn looked puzzled. I explained it to the coach next time I was near him. He thanked me and mentioned that they had done that several times that season an no one ever called them on it.

Incidentally, the player that punched the ball is now playing on a D1 scholarship.

A bicycle kick.

Or if you want to go to the pre 2002 mechanic then you would do this...

Thumbs up

Note that there's no rule against a player striking his coach with his fist. I hope they don't change that.
