A better practice for the coach is to yell, "steal the ball!"

I don't have my casebook with me right now, but there is a play in there that describes this exact situation. It says the official must determine whether the actual action of the foul is worthy of an intentional foul, and that a coach telling his team to foul alone is not sufficient to access an intentional foul, or access the coach with a technical foul.

A coach in our league yells "Rambo!" as his code for "foul" in the final moments of a game. Makes me smile every time!
What's crazy is the expression on a coach's face when he hears "intentional foul" after his kid runs up behind the dribbler and throws his arms around him in a bear hug not even pretending to make a play for the ball.

My favorite so far is when I called that near the end of overtime. "You can't make that call at this point in the game."

Calling an intentional foul before they actually happen...I like the way you think.

Lots of good comments.
To touch on this issue a little more from the officials' perspective, I feel it's an important part of game management for the officials to recognize when teams may deliberately foul in an end game situation and be prepared for it. To me, one of the most important things the officials need to do when this occurs, is to be right on top of it and call the foul right away. This is not the time for a patient whistle. Delaying the call even momentarily only encourages the players to get more physical and the potential of a deliberate foul becoming an intentional foul increases. Far too often I've seen officials take the "no blood, no foul" approach in these situations, forcing the defender to almost mug the opponent to get a whistle.
