My two comments about this in another venue:
----------------------
Eh, I think you'd better have more than that before you toss a coach from a game. Anything that immediately comes after a technical should be ignored unless she comes out on the court after the official. It's illogical to think that you're going to whack a coach and she's just going to quietly walk over to her chair and sit down.
Any ejection in this situation should be done in a way that just about every sane commenter would say, "that official really didn't have a choice but to eject her."
----------------------
A technical is an emotional thing, no matter how many times people claim "it's just another foul." Look at how the C calls the foul -- I can't remember ever putting that much energy into a hand-check or travel.
Why put yourself or your crew in a position where you (accidentally or intentionally) bait a coach into a second one.
She's out of the box, but off the floor. She's RECEIVED A TECHNICAL FOUL. She'll be back in the box before the ball's put in play. Let her alone for a bit and go shoot the free throws. In most cases you won't even have to address the coach as she'll be back in the box and off the ledge by the time the throws are completed.
