A big difference is the coaches are permitted onto the playing field to have their shouting match. A certain amount of this is allowed by baseball tradition but umpires can get ramped up by all the shouting.

Basketball referees can stand away from the coach if necessary because he can't cross the line. Umpires don't have that luxury.
