If the coach gets out of line, I would eject immediately. I really don't need him there with a bad attitude.
I am there to witness a baseball game, and not these shinanigans. Its not my responsibility to control the crowd, and I can't have a coach enticing the fans to bait the poor pitcher or the fans of the losing team. I would also request that the tournament director talk to the losing coach and a parent during the game. With this suppport, I would write a letter to the commish detailing the events that took place and the coach's refusal to grant my request. Without his support, I would probably just change clothes and go HOME and forget about it.
Just MOHO.

I'm sorry. I don't mean any disrespect. This is about the worst advice I
have ever heard on any subject in the history of the world since I've been in it!!!
What the batter is doing by switching boxes in perfectly legal, doh!
I've been doing pre-game plate conferences for years, and the spirit of fair play never entered into one. Jeez...
All the way to writing letters to the commissioner, oh my!!
It's a freakin'
baseball game for cryin' out loud!
You lost control of this game about the time you sent for the tournament director. You need to handle your bidness yourself, pardner.
I sure hope you don't think I'm attacking you personally by saying that this has got to tie for the stupidest post on the internet ever! (probably tied with any number of mine)
