Glen,
You were correct (ASA). Your UIC was, let's see, how shall I put this... a weenie!.
ASA Rule 5-12 says Coaches, players, substitutes, or other bench personnel shall not be outside the designated bench dugout area except when the rule allows or justified by the umpire. EFFECT: The first offense is a team warning. Any repeat offense shall result in the ejection of that team member.
ASA Case Play 5.12-1. Team "A" manager is outside the dugout directing defensive positioning. The umpire warns the manager to remain in the dugout. The manager returns outside the dugout in the next inning. RULING: The manager is ejected for a repeat offense. (5-12)
Seems pretty clear to me.
