How much is too much from a coach?

A coach is allowed a total of three technicals and then he is ejected on the third, sort of. Head (and, in some cases, assistant) coaches receive direct and indirect technicals. If they get two direct, they are gone. If they get any combination that totals three, they are gone. Direct technicals also count as team fouls, but indirects don't because they are adjunct to a direct already being given to someone.
