Since your partner is going to come to the table to report the foul, I would ignore the coach as I am vacating the area if he is in the box and just yelling about how he disagrees with the foul. My partner can handle his own business when he gets there. You have no responsibility in that case to protect him. If the coach is out of the box, yelling profanities, throwing things, or jumping up and down, then I would not wait for my partner to tech the coach. From the description, I think you teched him too fast, but maybe the coaches behavior was so bad it couldn't be ignored. If my partner chooses not to handle his business, I will step in and let the coach know that I understand he disagrees with the call, he has been given an opportunity to voice his displeasure, but he cannot continue to yell at my partner across the floor, and that we are moving on. If he continues after that, then I will tech him.
If his only comment to you was what you wrote, than there would be no reason for you or your partners to give him a second tech. Anything more than that, and he needs to be tossed.
