I don't usually hear the fans, and never talk back to them, but I was already thinking about it but could not come up with anything illegal as there was no interference on the play.

Unless he interferes with the play, the "penalty" for the coach is to get to hear the umpire say, "Don't do that coach. If you interfere with the play or the runners, I'll have to call an out. You should try to stay in your box."
I generally ignore where coaches are standing unless they go too far. I would probably have said something to a coach who entered fair territory unless he did so while trying to get out of the way of a play. It'd be more a suggestion, though, than a warning.
