1. I'm guessing he wanted to keep him there at the request of Adidas. When he pointed at the new Lead and kept going I think the C should've hit him again. However I don't disagree with trying to talk him down as the standard "Not now" coach isn't going to work with him.
2. Having been in a camp with a similar situation (they replaced all 3 of us at the coach's request), I would've left the game if they chose to pull one. I was furious when we were removed and the clinician said "Well, I don't know why y'all were changed, they just asked us to do it". No way in hell I'd let the management run-off a partner on the orders of a coach.
