My partner and I have an excellent system in place for when a coach gets T'd up. The calling official adminsiters and the other official talks to the offending coach, explaining the T if it was on a player, if it was on a coach, the non-calling official will explain how he wants the coach to behave for the rest of the game, i.e. "coach by rule you must remain seated for the remainder of the game, and any further unsporting actions will no longer be tolerated from anyone on your bench... It actually works really well. I don't feel its being disloyal unless their talking about you when your partner is talking to the coach.

Earlier this school year there was a long thread regarding mechanics when a coach gets whacked. And your post is a very good one. The officiating crew is a team, and when a coach gets a technical foul, one of the non-calling officials has to take care of business doing the things that you discuss in your post. The worst thing that can happen is that a coach gets a technical foul and none of the non-calling officials does nothing and the calling official then attempts to do the things that you discuss in your post.
