Smells like "spirit of the rules" debate to me.
Player has rights to Throw-in per rules
Coach is bench personnel with rights to the box.
Was this a natural occurance (accident)?
Did the player throw AT the coach?
Did the coach see the ball, swat at the ball?
Was there an open player in the corner direction of pass?
I'd say observing the event with these questions answered would say:
Re throw-in - no violation unless you saw something outside the spirit of the opportunity to cleanly get the ball back into play.
