Can a Coach's Instructions Earn a T?

Turn and walk away.

I had it happen in one of my games and this is exactly how I handled it.

I'm Trail, in front of coaches bench. He yell's out to his team to start throwing elbows. Without drawing more attention to the idiot, I simply told him, "the first one to do it is gone, with you, coach!" Good thing the kids were a lot smarter than the coach. No elbows thrown...

What would we have if we went this route? Flagrant personal foul against the offending player and a flagrant technical foul against the head coach, giving the offended team 4 shots and the ball?

Yes, and in that order. Of course, the offended player would have to shoot the flagrant FTs (unless injured) and then any player(s) on the offended team could shoot the T. And the inbound spot would be the division line, not the spot of the foul because the technical came last.

Don't forget - the AC would be seat belted.
