As the WH, I never let a coach talk directly to an official alone. If he has a complaint I, as the WH, go with the nearest official to the coach and listen to his question. If he wants to know what a player said I will repeat it.
When the first UC occurred it would have been a warning to the captain to settle his players down. The second UC would have been the WH and wing to explain to the coach the foul and appeal to his better senses. Let him know you are serious and you consider the actions of his players as being serious enough to eject, if necessary.
Since I was not there and can only rely on what was reported here, relaying information to a coach when he demands to see the official making the call gives a message to the coach that it is not important.
It is important to work with and not against coaches.
