I think the very fact that the hit came on a player that was out of the play, the hit is by definition NOT clean. Flag it. If not, you're asking for fights.

To the OP: Coach was told the hit was unnecessary, as in Unnecessary Roughness. Unsportsmanlike is a different animal, and treated differently.
