I have a hard time telling a player to swing the bat when you have no idea what/where the next pitch will be.
I would have said, "Batter those pitches are strikes." Maybe also "If the same pitch comes, consider swinging the bat," but even that is a stretch.
I agree with above - once the guys plants a finger in your face, he's gone.
When you said, "I don't want to hear another word from you," what if he then said another word, either to you (but was positive), or he stayed and talked to his team, or something else like that. Your comment sounded a bit like an ultimatum. What about, "Coach, I'm not gonna tell you again, go sit down, as this conversation is over."
