I've only had two basketball head coach ejections in 27 years (1 varsity and 1 JV), but I'll admit there were 1-2 more that I probably missed in an effort to "keep him in the game."
I'll also say that I've only run into one coach in my 12 years in WI that sounds as out of control as the coach in the OP (and that was one of my misses).
If I was going to keep them in the game, I would've whacked one assistant and tell them that, "someone's going home on the next one."
Keeping this head coach in the game wouldn't make you more approachable -- it would've made you and your crew doormats. But apparently the board you work on now may operate that way. Tough for you, no doubt.
(And 3 on one requires your presence. But the guy that whacked the coach should've gotten out of there himself.)
