Then again, telling a coach the appeal is not upheld might become more of a problem than telling the player.

But in recent years (15 or so), there never was a need for anyone to throw any ball anywhere on a dead ball appeal.
Even if they throw the ball away, it means nothing.
Preventive umpiring would tell the umpire who hears an improper appeal from the coach to turn to the closest defender in the infield area and ask, "What did s/he say?"
