It's not clear to me from description whether this is "carelessly throw a bat", which warrants a warning, or "deliberately throw a bat", which is ejection offense, except in my state where there are only 6 things that mandate ejection, the rest are bench suspension for the rest of the game. If this was deemed "deliberate" then it would be bench suspension, no paperwork to writeup and less severe than an ejection.
Every bat throw could be construed as deliberate but I tend to think of deliberate as throwing it at an opponent, which might lead to a fight, which would be one of the 6 things to get ejected, paperwork required.
On the subject of ejections, I follow the 3P's, personal, profane, or prolonged. It appears you allowed the coach to prolong by a wide margin. A calm discussion that lasts 45-60 seconds might be tolerated. A tirade would last less than 45 seconds. If there is a warning, it would be only one and it would be along the lines of "coach, you have 10 seconds" and if he don't get the message he's a dumb rat and can watch the rest of the game from the bench (suspended remember, it's not one of the 6 things to get ejected).
And your partner sucks.
