Its all about judgement and game management. If you want to call nothing you can, if you want to call an out you can, and if you want to restrict someone to the dugout you can. (and all of this is "by rule")
I've had this happen in games and I'm like Coach JM in that I've often treated it like they are loose equipment which by rule gives you the right to call an out. (if you feel its deserved)
Depends on if I've warned the coach or not etc.,

Re-read penalty for 3-3-1j in FED. Specifically for 3-3-1j - COACHES WHO VIOLATE -TWO OPTIONS ONLY RESTRICT, EJECT
VERBATIM
For coaches who violate g, h, i, j, k, or l, the umpire may (1) restrict the offender to bench/dugout for the remainder of the game or (2) eject the offender. Any coach restricted to the bench shall be ejected for further misconduct. A coach may leave the bench/dugout to attend to a player who becomes ill or injured. This is not one of those "judged to be a minor offense"
The rules here are different for players as opposed to coaches -
