Technical after ejection?

That doesn't address the issue of giving technicals after a coach is ejected, but says that you can forfeit a game if the players/bench personnel/coaches repeatedly commit technical fouls.

I understand you don't want to forfeits games, nobody does, but what is your other recourse? Sit there and do nothing? Coaches do not control the game, we do.

Forfeiting a game is a big deal. Giving one additional technical foul to a coach who is behaving in an unsporting manner as he is leaving the court after being ejected isn't.

Let's say he starts to leave immediately, and as he does he walks by your partner and says, "You're a cheating MFer!!!" ... Do you just automatically forfeit the game right there?
