You are invoking the wrong rule for this situation. The rule which you are attempting to apply is the next article following the one I cited in my post above.

You are trying to use:
Rule 5, Section 6,
ART. 4 . . . If a technical foul occurs after the ball has become dead to end a quarter or extra period, the next quarter or extra period is started by administering the free throws.


You cannot use article 4 here because the ball does not become dead to end the quarter until the final FT for the personal foul ends. Since the coach got the technical foul prior to that, you need to apply article 3 as I quoted above. It is a fine line, but timing is everything in this case.

I will have a piece of humble pie!!!!!
