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.
I feel that your suggestion of simply having him removed from the gym is your best option. Report it to your state/assignor, and if they choose to equate it with an ejection, then they can apply the appropriate penalties.

In my case, the only reason I assessed a flagrant T was because the varsity coach was standing at the bench along with the freshman coach. At that point, he was most certainly bench personnel and under the jurisdiction of the freshman coach.

One other reason to be careful of T-ing up anyone who claims to be the varsity coach - what if he's lying? What if it's just a fan of the opposing team trying to get two shots awarded?
