2. you walk pass the headcoach and he screams "F**k you" (loud enough for the 1st row can hear it).

What would you guys have done?
FWIW, I'd probably T the coach in both cases.

That said, comparing this to the TO situation isn't even apples and oranges - it's more like comparing pomegranates and fried chicken. Unsporting technical fouls are ALWAYS judgement calls on the part of the official(s) involved. Whether the player/coach requested a timeout is a fact, pure and simple.
