In this case, do we T for the "blast through" comment? call an intentional in either case? thoughts?
1) I'd tell the coach that if his player blasts through the screen, the call is going to be either an intentional foul or a flagrant foul, depending on the severity of the contact. And if it is a flagrant foul, the coach would be getting a flagrant "T" also for telling one of his players to go after an opponent like that.

2) Call what actually happens, not the instructions. If the player makes a legitimate attempt to play the ball, you shouldn't call an intentional foul even though you know the team wanted to foul. From POE 3B in the NFHS 2004-05 rulebook:
"There is a right way and a wrong way to foul. Coaches must instruct their players in the proper technique for strategic fouling. "Going for the ball" is a common phrase heard, but intentional fouls should still be called on players who go for the ball if it is not done properly. Conversely, a coach who yells "Foul!" instructions to his or her team does NOT mean that the ensuing foul is "automatically" an intentional foul- even though it is a strategic foul designed to stop the clock. Coaches, officials,players, fans and administrators must accept fouling as a legitimate coaching strategy.".
