I'm getting lazy, here's what I responded over on eTeamz - via cut-n-paste.
If the coach has interfered by her presence on the field, that's the right call. I had something similar happen once(different sanctioning body), but the coach did not get in the way of any play(playing action taking place at 2B & coach was in play between 1B & the circle). Verbally I said something like, "Coach, get off the field during live ball." He did and we did talk after play stopped and time was called. My first words to him were "Coach, by coming onto the field during a live ball, I would have been perfectly justified in an ejection. Now, what exactly was the cause of your coming out like that."
If the coach has not interfered with the play by her presence within live ball territory, I think the book sez to let play continue and issue a team warning after playing action is done & time called. Seems to me that is in Rule 3, Section 3.
