"Since it involves a softball game, I wanted to hear what you all have to say"
In my mind there are two levels of this incident that require two levels of discipline.
#1 - the coach on the field was obviously wrong - for arguing a judgment call; for refusing to return to the bench, and for failing to control his fans. If all that is true, then I believe that he should be suspended for at least two games or a week minimum. With probation when he returns.
#2 - he crossed the line of acceptable behavior when he confronted the umpire in the umpire's changing room. Official's facilities must be a safe haven that can not be violated. If that is true, the coach should be fired.
