On the second occurance, the coach is heading toward the parking lot. And, I may even enforce verbal interferance and call the runner closest to home out.

Tom,
Where do you get verbal interference? I don't believe there is any rule to support that. USC under 10.9.A is a possibility.
However, just how much help do you think the batter is going to get having the pitch screamed out with less than a second to react? The screaming alone would most likely be just as distracting to the batter as it is to the pitcher.
It may be bush or cheap, but that doesn't make it illegal. The one thing it is for sure is STUPID!
