A number of us have already stated that there is nothing illegal about a coach stating his opinion on a play. He can do it loudly, as well. I have never seen a conference restrict that right. No, D-1 schools do not limit a coach's vocal volume. There are a number of rules about what he can say, when he can say it but not how loud he can do it.
Watch LaRussa work a plate umpire from the dugout some day. Paul Mainieri, Mike Gillespie, Chad Kreuter, Tim Esmay, Jim Morris, Mark Marquess, to name a few, are elite but volatile coaches who yell aplenty. The guys working those games know that yelling an opinion is not arguing. Commitment to that opinion may warrant further action and the rules allow us to handle them appropriately. No need to be an OOO.
