depends on how the coach does it. Normally, they do it in a way to show up the umpire and that gets them dumped.
One coach I know would have just a small rules page on his clipboard and quietly walk over and make it look like he's doing a lineup change or some other administrative stuff, and he does it in a perfectly civil and discreet manner and only does it occasionally, never gets ejected or warned. Even better is he keeps the technique to himself so no one else in the park has a clue that he's questioning a rule
