I think we're missing the point. The main question of this post is what should we do if a coach refuses to allow a player to shoot his second free throw for whatever reason, not what we would have done earlier in the sequence.
As we all know, by rule, unless the player is injured, he must make the attempt. Again, strictly by the rules, if the coach "stops the game" in this manner, it would be a forfeit.
Now, having said that, here's what I would do. I would tell the coach that, although I shared his disgust, the consequence of this particular action would result in a forfeit, and my suggestion would be to let him shoot the second shot, then take him out and do whatever you wanted to do to him (short of execution) after that. That way, I am not forced to declare a forfeit and the coach can still discipline the player.
And yeah, I think something should have been called earlier - at least a warning (unofficial) if nothing else.
