1) Combine both... interference and then eject......
2) Not inventing anything here.... for FED see 3-3-1 (g)(4)
A coach, player, substitute, attendant, or other bench personell shall not....
....commit any unsportsmanlike act to include, but not limited to;
....behavior in any manner not in accordance with the spirit of fair play
It all boils down to what the spirit of fair play is in our eyes.
If I am working the game, this activity stops here and now. I have folks unhappy with me for a while, but we get back to baseball.
If you are working said game, the activity turns into the "one-up 'em" mode and we have some sort of retaliation because of the chickenbleep activity by a team.
If called on the carpet, my defense of "this isn't what baseball is all about" carries a whole bunch more credibility than your "the rules don't prohibit this action" excuse.
