Not initially, but when the ump walks away toward the 1st base line and the guy runs over in front of him, he'd be gone in my game.
The ump knew it was a unique play and I think he knew an explanation was necessary. But once that explanation was given, it is time to move on. No way I'd let him dance around in circles and act like a little banty rooster. Without a doubt, the second time the coach walked away then came back he would have been dumped.
