First time to toss a coach

You should have tossed him IMMEDIATELY when he poked you in the chest!!!!

Would this be considered a "Double Technical"? where 4 shots would be awarded? or simply a technical foul and 2 shots? I guess my question is that you don't need 2 direct techs in this case since physical contact occured?

First one should have been flagrant.

It wouldn't be a double technical... it would just be a flagrant technical. Ejection, 2 shots.

A double technical would only occur if two T-worthy actions occur with some time interval between them... the interval doesn't have to be very long, but it has to be there. For example:

Coach: "You've gotta be f-cking kidding me!"
Official: "Tweet. Technical foul."
Coach: "You're a horsesh-t official!"
Official: "Tweet. Technical foul."

Two separate actions, two separate Ts.

Just to be clear...what you describe is not a double technical. It is two technicals on that coach. A double T would be something that happens between opponents.

Ah yes, quite right.

Double (Technical) foul = (Technical) fouls committed by opponents against each other at approximately the same time.

Yep, and that makes a big difference. Two T's and you're shooting four FT's (with between 1 and 4 shooters ).

A double T and you're shooting zero FT's and resuming at the POI.

I know that you know this, just adding it for general edification. (Maybe Adam knows the general?)

I treated it as a ??false multiple technical foul??. One for the poke and second for tossing the ball away. We did shoot four TFTs. However, I have learned in this situation it should have been flagrant for the first one and not even dealt with the rest of it.
