Unless the first base coach is also the HC, I don't have a huge problem with what you did there. Would I have restricted him? Based on your description, possibly not, but I wasn't there and don't know if there were other issues that led up to this. That level of disrespect from an AC probably needs to be dealt with. You have him baseball's equivalent of a "T". The answer to your question can often be answered by a different question, "Did the game get better after the restriction?" If it did, then it was probably the right move. If things got worse, then perhaps you should've tried a different approach.
