#1 This is okay. 30 to make substitution. Coach can have huddle for 25 of those second if he wants. This is not a time for an official to be near his bench; GET AWAY ! You have already upset him by fouling out his player if you stand there tapping your toe until he gives you a sub then you are creating a confrontational situation. Let the coach do his thing. No sub by 30 seconds (you better have had the timer start the 30 second countdown)... now T him.
#2 I already told you to get away. The huddle is none of your business. The ball is dead; no player technical should have been given. Now you really got him PSSD.
#3 Corollary to Get Away is STAY AWAY. The official has created a confrontational situation where the coach cannot win. If you step into his huddle or his bench area when he is already upset, the only way you will come out is running or without a coach for the rest of the game.
Coach is disqualified after two direct T's or three indirects (the indirect counts like 1/2 of a direct - so 1 direct + 2 indirect also = disqualification).
From your scenario the coach should not have been disqualified having received only 1 direct technical. The incorrect technical on the player was not anything to the coach besides more frustration. Yes, a T on the bench would count towards the coaches disqualification. This incorrect T however was on a player that was in the game and should not be credited to the coach.
Somebody hosed this game up badly. Hope you learned some good lessons and won't allow this kind of thing to happen in one of your games.
Well see what others say.

I agree w/ everything you have said above including the screwing up of this game royally. The coach can have a conference w/ his players during the 30 sec. replacement period as long as he has a sub reported at 30. No tech here for "instructing" players. Is this misguided official giving a T to the team A player for leaving the court for an unauthorized reason??(10.3.4) I can find nothing to back up that going OOB during a dead ball is illegal. even if this were true the T would be charged to the player and not the coach. The only rationalle I could see for his being tossed was a T for not replacing the DQ'd player and then another for arguing (2 direct).
It sounds like to me???maybe this official had a beef w/ the coach or an interest in the outcome of the game (I sure the he11 hope not) and he abused his power to the extreme. This is kind of a disturbing story if the facts are as they are described...
