Just want to get all the facts across before judgment is passed
Don't know much about USSSA baseball, but according to the rules on their website:

11.04 Throwing of equipment will be an automatic ejection.

You don't need to explain yourself (safety concerns). It's a rule.

12.01 If a coach is ejected from a game, he must sit out the remainder of the game. Additional penalties may be assessed as deemed by the League/Tournament Director.

So remainder of the game sitout is all that is required by rule.

12.02 A player ejected must sit out the remainder of the game.

So remainder of the game sitout is all that is required by rule.

Don't fret about TD's. The teams at the tournament paid to be there and his only concern is that they pay to come back some day. It's not in his best interest to assess additional penalties. A good one would have a discussion with offenders though.

I suggest giving TD's the same attention you give assistant coaches.
