I work both high school baseball and softball and would have to agree that, on the whole, the baseball coaches are a bigger pain in the you-know-what. That's not to suggest that there aren't some painful softball coaches out there, but the baseball guys can take being a tool to another level.
And then there is travel/tournament softball where the coaches can make the high school baseball coaches look downright mellow.
You already got your answer: Don't put up with constant arguing. A certain amount of chirping can be expected in any game. Game management dictates that you draw the line somewhere, address it when you have to and then do what you need to do to shut it down. If that means that somebody has to go...then somebody has to go.
