How many coaches and if they can go on the field is not a univerasal rule so you have to go with the flow on those.

The only rules I know of that limit the number of coaches is LL (3). OTOH, LL allows coaches onto the field in minors.

So for that aspect you really need to understand what the local league rules are.

If the local rules allow them being out of the dugout then you shouldn't eject them for being out of the dugout.

As for their handling of the situation during the game - give them an "F". Totally unprofessional approach. But so was yours when you refused to listen to them describing their rules and refused to follow them.

It was a big cluster (*&^&^% because they didn't take the time pre-game to inform you of their rules and you apparently made no attempt to find out what any local rules were - after noting that you knew each league had their own.

There ar no clean hands in this mess.
