Football has the "unsportsmalike conduct" penalty that you can use as a tool,also.Hockey has "bench"penalties.I agree with Rich that it's nice to have a tool to let the coach(s) know that they're pushing their luck,without having the strict choice of eject/not eject after you say "Coach,that's enough".I have always had nothing but the utmost admiration and respect for the difficult job that a good baseball umpire has of keeping some games under control,while trying to keep the participants in it.
