Here is what we know...
Coach is upset and yelling;
Coach has entered the field of play during a live ball;
Coach has blocked the umpire's way back to the plate to visibly confront the umpire in the middle of the field;
Coach is yelling about a judgment call.
I agree the immediate ejection is hair-triggered, but (continuing the gun analogy) the safety should have definitely been off!
