I'm with you on that.

consider this. The "head coach" is a position as opposed to a person.

There certainly is a head coaching position. But "the head coach" is a person. The AD didn't hire a position.

In Chuck's message above, assuming that head coach is a position, the reason the new head coach can't stand is because they have assumed the head coach position, and the head coach allready has a technical foul, so he/she can't stand.

Even if we grant your assumption (which I disagree with), the conclusion isn't valid. When the head coach is ejected, the assistant takes over but does
not inherit any indirect or direct technical fouls that were given to the head coach. That's not why he's not allowed to stand. If s/he did inherit those T's, then the assistant would also have to be ejected for inheriting the head coach's two direct T's, right? T's are not passed down to the new coach. But he still can't stand.
Why is that? Because he's not the head coach. If that's the way it works late in the game, then that's how it works at the beginning of the game.
