1. Before betting the farm, I might have consulted my partner about whether umpires in that league enforce the rule requiring coaches to remain in the dugout. If not, I might have contacted the UIC to find out why nobody enforces a league rule. Sure, it's a safety rule, but I'm far more vigilant about player safety than coach safety.
2. When the board member came on the field and took over, I would have left. Umpires are not answerable to them on the field.
3. No rule requires catchers to use a mitt. OOO on that one.
Sounds as if there's plenty of blame to go around, but it doesn't sound like an attractive gig to me.
