Absolutely correct. All discussions with coaches are one on one. In this case, your partner should have stepped in and kept all of the other players away from your discussion with the player-coach. If you're working solo, and more than one person attempts to engage in a discussion, forcefully announce that you will speak with one person only. If they keep pushing forward, start ejecting until they don't have enough left to play.

Again correct. Playing to the crowd is usually an attempt to show you up. This is an offense that warrants an ejection.

You made the correct call.
You explained the rule and the call.
Player-coach believes that no such rule exists.

Don't get into a p*ssing contest here (yes it is, no it's not, etc...)
Depending on what has happened in the game up to this point, you may choose to let the player-coach vent a bit, as long as he doesn't cross the line. When you decide it's time, tell him that he has had his say, the play is over and we are going to play ball. If he chooses to keep going after that, he has ejected himself.
