Definitely two words, unless he purchased his way inside the coach's philosophy.

Also, Ace, have you ever displayed those editing skills to The Plain-Dealer? That's the kind of craftsmanship I'd want on my desk.

I'm gonna print this out and use it as a clip. That's why I didn't use any profanity.

Here is a case when you can avoid the issue altogether (or is it all together?) by tweaking the sentence.

Instead of "He bought into the coach's philosophy" you can say:

"He refrained from telling the coach to get the hell out of his face."
