Rule number 1 - Don't make threats.
Rule number 2 - see rule number 1.
"Any more from you coach and you're gone" is completely inappropriate.
"That's enough, coach," "That's the last I'll hear about the strike zone today," etc, are appropriate. But don't put yourself in a situation where you've given a coach an ultimatum or threat.
