Would you as the umpire have enforced an ejection?

Yes, absolutely, for sure, affirmative.
I had a similar situation this past summer at Triple Crown in Utah. Runner at third had gotten hung up on a slow roller to the pitcher. Caught in a rundown and tagged for the third out of the inning.
One of the asst coaches from the dugout starts screaming at the third base coach that he screwed up by not sending the runner hard on contact. Very loud, very agitated, then he walks over to where the third base coach is standing in the gate to the dugout and throws a punch at him! My partner was there immediately and ejected the guy.
Never had two coaches from the same team start duking it out before.
