You send R2 back to 2nd, because he can't advance on the interference.
You call R1 out because of the coach's interference, because a play was being made on him.
You eject the coach for being an idiot, as he was the first coach you ever saw intentionally interfere with a fielder.

A play was not being made on R1 at the time of the interference, the ball was thrown past 1B and F3 was going for the loose ball on the ground.
3.15 says the umpire shall impose penalties that nullify the interference. On an overthrown ball, most likely R1 and R2 advance so what would nullify this? I think it would be more reasonable to return both R1 and R2 because the ball is dead on interference and eject the coach.
