This behavior would have and should have deserved a technical foul under any other circumstance, but my partner and I discussed it a decided that we did not want to make a big deal and call a technical foul while the the player was still in pain on the floor, making every one believe that we were more concerned about the coach than the player's painful injury,

#1.) This is ridiculous. Wait until they get the player off the floor and you are ready to continue the game. Then you give the coach the T. Otherwise, I have to believe the coach is right and you guys where doing a bad job. I say this because of your reluctance to check the coach. I can't believe you didn't say to the coach to go tend to your player while he was complaining, right now, she is more important. If he continues, just say okay coach, you can continue to talk but that's going to cost you a T.
The difference with your analogy and the OP is that the coach made one comment and it was over. He did not continue to follow the guys around. This is not the same circumstance at all. You should feel bad you didn't give out a well deserved T.
