The first thing that you need to understand and learn from this situation is that when you dump a player or coach, is that they are being ejected for a specific reason. In your post you have questions about whether you should have run him after the first exchange. Here are some parameters to follow during a situation that may escalate towards an ejection:
1) First, never get into an exchange with a coach or player who is in the dugout or not in the vicinity of the play that is in question. If he wants to discuss it, he should come out and converse 1 on 1 with the umpire calling the play. If he declines to come out, move to your postion.
2) Umpires do not eject players or managers. Players and managers eject themselves. Once they cross the line, they have to go. It is important to understand this so as to not have any indecision or confusion as to why someone is ejected.
3) There is no turning back, EVER after someone has been ejected from a game. Never. You now write your report.
" When you look for trouble, trouble finds you" From the time you enter the field, remember, " You're in charge, be in charge"
