You mean they actually teach you to throw out a coach a half inning after a comment was made for no other reason other than walking by you?!? That just doesn't sound right?!?
I have seen coaches in the the Major Leagues get tossed while sitting on the bench. Are you telling me those umpires are bush league?
What do you do with a coach that is chirping from the dugout who doesn't come out of the dugout? If you shouldn't throw him out on the bench because that is bush and you shouldn't approach the dugout because you don't want to bait him what exactly are your options???
I'm definitely confused???

How could I possibly have known that you were going to say what you did? Look at the timeline. Who's kidding who?
BTW, go to professional school, graduate, work a couple of years of Minor League baseball and then you can question my technique. The way I handle coaches was taught at Brinkman-Froemming for years. Tossing a coach in the dugout is bush. Baiting him by approaching his dugout is worse.
"Big Dog" comments are just an extension of your mentality.
Work the games I do and you'll see that those of us that work there don't pick battles we can't win. Getting your first big game is easy, getting annual schedules is the true accomplishment. If you consider that arrogant, too bad. The advice I give is backed by more than a few years of calling high school baseball.
BTW, "The Stare" doesn't work past high school. It just indicates that you heard him and won't react. That we did learn in the Minors.
