Sure, he was trying to use his school affiliation to try and intimidate the officials. That school affiliation doesn't make him part of the JV team, though. He still has to be treated as a "fan" rules-wise. He wasn't on the bench, which means that he sureasheck can't logically be defined as being "bench personnel" under rule 4-34-2. And "bench personnel" in that rule specifically includes "coaches".
Btw, if you did make the mistake of "T"ing up the Varsity coach coming out of the stands using your logic, you are aware also that you then have to give the JV head coach an indirect "T" too, I hope. The JV head coach is responsible for all "bench personnel" as per rule 10-4. If that indirect technical foul is the one that then puts the JV coach over his limit and gets him tossed, I wanna be there when you try and justify that ejection also.
Never do what can't be explained logically in a post-game report.

Please hear me out, when the V head coach walks to the edge of the court and yells at the official or demands an explaination (which he is not due because he's a fan) and then he rants about how he is due an explaination because he's the V head coach....he is inserting himself as staff. I really don't care where he started out from, I know where he is at and how he is trying to influence the official. He knows good and well that he has not only crossed the line but ran right thru it and he's due whatever he gets.
In my most non-arguementative tone; would you take that action from a fan? What would you have done to that fan who did this action? Then maybe the better thing to do is have this fan/coach removed from the gym for the evening.
To answer your question about if this T was enough to have the JV coach ejected......I think that AD's got a long season ahead of him if the JV coach is so unsportsmanlike to be near ejection and then the V coach is also acting like this. Hmmmmm, my kid would not play for those coaches.
