If I see three, I am going to call three. Of course, I am also going to make sure I have the numbers for all three before I step into that big pile of meadow muffin. If I don't/can't then we only call what we know.
As far as ejecting the coach, it is not my problem. This is not a new rule. It is his responsibility to let his kids know it is not acceptable. This is why it is an indirect. He should have been running down the sideline yelling at his kids after the first one, let alone all three.
My guess is his philosophy is this: "Dunk if therefs aren't there, I don't care".
Guess what, a quick trip to the showers might have changed it.
To throw some gas on this, does everyone agree that the "original" ruling should have stayed? I would have made my "know it all" partner sack up, and pitch the coach. My explaination would have been "when you made me look up the rule to ensure grasping was a T, I noticed that yu should be ejected, sorry buh-bye".
