There is a way to escort a coach or manager back to the dugout without touching (I agree with the others-don't put your hands on the coach).
1. Get the coach's attention: with eye contact, your voice, and/or your physical presence in his face.
2. Begin speaking calmly with the coach
3. While still speaking, start walking towards the dugout.
Most times, the coach will walk with you. Do not stop speaking to the coach until you reach the dugout. As soon as you stop speaking, he'll stop walking and probably will return back to the other umpire. Then, you'll have to toss him.
