Hotlink, there is a casebook play on each type of situation (one case that discusses an injury, and one that discusses a technical foul). In the case of a T on the defensive coach, the interpretation is that you wait to call the T b/c you don't want to take the advantage away from the driving offense. So. . .

A1 attacking the basket.

Coach B makes inappropriate comment.

Official allows A1 to complete his play (completing a play means releasing a try or withholding the ball from play).

Official assesses technical foul to Coach B.

The thing to remember, tho, is that this case only applies in a situation where the defensive coach commits the unsporting act. If a member of the offensive team commits any type of foul, the ball becomes dead immediately unless the try is already in flight.

But this is not one of those cases. I know what the book says, but this is not the defensive coach, it is the offensive coach, and you are penalizing the defense by not blowing the whistle automatically, thereby allowing the offense to score before penalizing the contact. Different situation than just holding the whistle for a stupid play by the defensive coach, or holding it on a drive to the basket for a possible 3 point play.

I thought good-natured rubbing is why Dan has callouses?

Lotion keeps me callous free.

Anyways, here's an old joke:

Chuck Sr: "Junior! Cut that out! Don't you know it will make you blind!!?"

Chuck Jr: "OK Dad...can I at least do it until I need glasses?"

Ok, sorry. I guess I misread the original sitch. If it was the offensive coach that popped off, then you are absolutely correct. Whack him immediately. Take away the break and give 2 shots and the ball to the other team. Big swing!
