Brakes only cool when they are not generating more heat than they are
giving up. DO NOT DRAG THEM. Apply them forcefully to lower the coach speed
below the safe posted speed, then, take your foot off the pedal. If
necessary, downshift and use engine braking in addition to braking effort.

And generally go down in the same gear you went up (or would have to).
Also, if you're going down too fast, use the brakes briskly to slow below
the desired speed, THEN downshift to the gear that's needed to control the
speed.
