However, for those that have do you someone "beckon" the coach or is it just understood that he/she's able to come onto the floor to help break up a fight?

In all my years, I have yet to have a fight of this nature -- just lucky, I guess. I can tell you that several of my peers have. They have indicated that they will IMMEDIATELY beckon the coaches as the coaches are typically in the best position to break up a fight. In the "video age", a coach is taking a HUGE risk simply running on to the court to break up a fight.

As others have pointed out, a coach is taking a potentially huge risk by entering without being beckoned.
