I don't understand how your involvement in this situation has now put you in charge of the situation.
You conference, you have nothing, he has nothing and it's his call to make. Very simple and undisputed mechanics.

How can you possibly consider letting UIC make his call as throwing him to the wolves?
It's actually much worse than throwing him to the wolves, you effectively emasculated him.

It's always a good learning tool, it's called consequences of actions!
Negative consequences tends to deter behavior which results in such consequences.
Getting an "earful from the coach" comes with the territory when you screw up. If UIC asked for you to fight his battle you may have mentioned it in your OP, important info, and everyone would agree that UIC needs to grow some before they can be kicked.
If UIC did not ask for your help in managing this call then I agree with a previous post that you're the one that screwed up by usurping your authority.
