Right there is where it goes downhill. There is nowayinhell
both coaches should be allowed to be out of their box complaining. You tell both of them to immediately get back in their boxes. That's their warning. If neither complies, technical foul. You do not discuss the play with either of them in front of the table. And yes, both partners should be there to each escort a coach back to where they belong. If the calling official then wants to answer questions from either coach, he can go to the edge of the box and do so. Do not let the coaches set the ground rules in any dispute.
As for the call.....
1) Can't comment on the slap because I didn't see it. Sound doth not make a foul.
2) Re: the elbow....you cannot have a personal foul without contact. Your choices are a violation or a technical foul for an unsporting act.
