Team Control during a free throw?

1) I was being facetious (they will be ejected to the locker room or another interior area), the important part of the post was how to handle the "successful" dead ball free throw.

2) If concise, ten word explanations prevented coach ejections, there would be far fewer coach ejections.

Back in the day, we had some local "old school" officials who would purposely get into arguments with coaches with the intent to eventually eject them, and then show up at the post game "watering holes" proudly wearing their "badge of honor" (and free adult beverages).

Those days, locally, for the most part, are long gone. Game management has become much more nuanced than in the past.

Connecticut coaches are still ejected (too often according to the CIAC, which recently increased the ejection penalty from one game to two games, multiple ejections can lead to a $250 school fine and the team being barred from CIAC postseason competition), almost always due to their own fault, very rarely due an overzealous official with ill intent.
