For some reason, it's easier in baseball. Usually the coach is out on the field when he crosses the line and it seems more normal ejecting baseball coaches than ejecting basketball coaches.

Oh, I'm not saying there needs to be more ejections. It just seems like at that level, they're slow to even T some of these actions...like a coach has to be over the top just to receive much less an ejection.
I mean, is there a reason we should allow a coach to go on for a minute like Coach K did after being T'd? Should we allow a coach to be yelling across the court like he's doing? The whole reason we go opposite on technical fouls on the coach is to avoid a possible confrontation and allow the coach to cool down, but he's not even doing that!
