I have never been pushed by a coach, ejected or otherwise, so it took some time to think on this. I can't say that pushing an umpire after an ejection would be in the same class of offense as instructing a pitcher to hit the umpire in the head with a warmup toss (see another post on this). For the former I would not press charges, for the latter I would.
I would, after the game, go directly to my car, get in it, and leave. On the way I would arrange with my partner a nearby off-site meeting place to meet. If I am in unfamiliar area I would ask him to follow me to the first convenience store we come upon.
I would send an email to my assignor and ask my partner to do the same. I would then leave it up to him, and whatever adminstrative body exists for this league, to decide what the penalty will be. For a push I would not expect a lifetime ban, but I would expect some penalty. The after game offense would not occur, because I would be at the nearest convenience store.
If you are pushed by a coach who has been ejected, it might be time to go home, unless you are sure you are working a league that will deal with this appropriately.
