A coach gets one indirect technical foul if one or ten bench personnel leave the bench.
If three of those ten enter the court and fight, the head coach gets a total ofthree indirect technical fouls, and he would be ejected.

Not quite -- the coach gets one indirect for each of the three that fought, plus one more for all the others who left but didn't fight.
It makes no difference in this particular case -- the coach is gone anyway, but it might make a difference if the numbers were a little different.
Jim Dixon (I think) wrote an interesting summary on these rules a few years ago. I'll try to find it and post it, but a summary is:
1) Players Come off and do NOT fight -- doesn't matter how many, just one indirect. If numbers for both teams are same, they offset. IF numbers aren't the same, shoot two throws.
2) Players come off and DO fight -- One indirect for each player who fights. IF numbers for both teams are same, they offset. If numbers aren't the same, two throws for each one that isn't offset.
3) Coaches leave bench (without being beckoned) -- Flagrant direct on coach -- whether s/he fights or not. IF both coaches leave bench, they offset. If not, shoot two throws.
Always -- people who leave the bench are ejected.
Always -- add one to the team foul total for each person who leaves the bench.
