I know of no way to toss either a player or coach without a flagrant technical. Since I don't have my rule book handy, how do you justify the flagrant by the book? If you just give them a technical and tell them they're gone, it seems they can argue against that with the book on their side.
You've got it reversed. If the technical is of such proportion that it demands an ejection by itself, then it IS flagrant.

When you whack them, tell them the T is flagrant and that they are outta here. Then make the baseball umpire tossing motion. Believe me, it's the most fun you can have out there.
Agreed. You make the decision as to whether the action warrants flagrant T or not. If you just give them a technical and tell them they're gone, you've just called a flagrant T. No further justification is needed.
