Kidding aside, this will be a good help for young umpires who sometimes let the asst. coaches get the best of them. Now they have the rule book to back them up.

Assistant coaches' behavior and appropriate consequences have been POEs a couple of times in the recent past. This isn't a re-affirmation, it is a change.
Personally, I prefer the old way. I just know that now, after an ejection, I'm going to be hearing, "You're supposed to bench him first."
Screw benching.
