You said 9/10 game - coach gone in a heartbeat, letter written to BOD or President of the League and hopefully at least a one game suspension. No need for that PERIOD, let alone at a 9/10 game.
One thing I like that FED does is restrict the Coach to the Bench area I would like to see that rule in other youth leagues as well.
In your situation you would have no choice, as the coach was going ballistic in a 9/10 game, however, for lessor offenses when the coach wants to come out and question everything IMO, the restrict to dugout rule is a good one. It keeps the coach in the game, but if he / she says anything further - SEE YA.
See if you can get a Local League Rule passed, allowing the umpire to Restrict the Coach to the Dugout.
