I'll go with Guccione on this one just on principle.

Say what you want about Cox, but he's gotten results and he always has backed his players.
Glavine, Maddox, Smoltz, Chipper, the lists goes on and on of players who stand by him as one of the best of all time.
If he had a problem with Cox chirping from the dugout, take it out on Cox, but the video clearly shows the player did not show him up by his actions.
But, as you stated, Cox leads the majors I believe in ejections so he does have a reputation. But, for him to stay out that long tells me that there was something going on ... he usually is ejected and then leaves.
